Shekhar Suman, renowned for his diverse roles opposite Manisha Koirala and Rekha, has recently sparked discussions with his portrayal of intimate scenes. Having previously been associated with the Congress, the actor has now switched camps to the BJP. Let’s delve into the reasons behind his hiatus from politics during that time.
Shekhar Suman has made a notable comeback with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s web series “Hiramandi,” where a particular scene has caught the audience’s attention.

The Controversial Scene:
Shekhar Suman has returned to the limelight after a prolonged absence with the web series “Hiramandi,” immediately creating a buzz with a specific scene. His portrayal of an “oral s*x scene” alongside actress Manisha Koirala has stirred discussions, with audiences repeatedly revisiting the scene. However, he has courted controversy with bold scenes in films before.
Intimate Scenes with Rekha:
During the nascent stages of his career, Shekhar Suman shared intimate sequences with veteran actress Rekha in the film “Utsav.” By incorporating such bold scenes into his acting debut, Suman managed to capture widespread attention. Even today, discussions revolving around that scene with Rekha persist. Shekhar has traversed both the small and big screens throughout his career.
Reasons for Departure from Politics:
However, Shekhar Suman parted ways with the Congress shortly thereafter. At the time of his departure, he cited his initial entry into politics as a means to serve the populace, yet acknowledged his inability to dedicate ample time due to personal and professional commitments. Nonetheless, when queried about his resurgence in politics, he refrained from divulging his future plans, asserting that it’s premature to speculate.
Transition from Congress to BJP:
Aside from his acting endeavors, Shekhar Suman has dabbled in politics. In 2009, he contested against Bollywood stalwart Shatrughan Sinha on a Congress ticket from Patna Sahib. However, he faced defeat in that electoral bout. Now, after a considerable hiatus, Shekhar has reentered the political fray by aligning himself with the BJP.
