Shekhar Suman on Sunday took to his Twitter handle to utterly refute and slam a news report that claimed that his son Adhyayan Suman has committed suicide. Suman revealed that he and his wife were 'aghast' to see such a video floating on social media. He also revealed that his wife Alka was 'inconsolable' when they heard this news piece as their son was in Delhi at the time.

Sharing a video report about his Adhyayan's alleged suicide, Shekhar wrote that at the time, his son was in Delhi and unreachable. "We all died a thousand deaths," he wrote.

Yesterday this channel acted unpardonably irresponsible and sent out a piece of news that devastated me,my wife and my family members . My wife was inconsolable as they announced that Adhyayan Suman has committed suicide. Adhyayan was in Delhi.

"Such a shocking news could have had a disastrous effect," he wrote, demanding an 'immediate public apology' and calling for 'strict legal action' against the channel for 'such an irresponsible and reprehensible act.'

He wrote in another tweet, "While I'm taking legal action against them and suing them for such a reprehensible act. The media ought to be more responsible and not jeopardize people's lives and destroy them for their own vested interest."

Meanwhile, Adhyayan in the past has spoken about his struggles with mental health. Shekhar’s elder son Aayush died due to heart disease at the age of 11.
