New Delhi, July 13 - Adhyayan Suman, son of actor Shekhar Suman, says the story of his third film 'Jashnn' has a lot of similarities to his own life - as a budding actor and choosing career over love.

' 'Jashnn' in many ways is similar to my life story. The first similarity is that the protagonist of the film has aspirations of becoming a rockstar and I too had aspirations of becoming an actor. He struggles to get to a position in his life, I too am struggling for a successful career,' Adhyayan told IANS.

'Like he had to focus on his career putting aside his love, I too had to take a decision because my love life was creating problems in my career. So in a lot of other ways too the story of the film is similar to my life,' he said.

The 21-year-old actor was dating actress Kangana Ranaut, but they recently called off their relationship.

Adhyayan made his debut in Bollywood with 'Haal-e-dil' in 2008 but was noticed in his second film 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues', which also starred Emraan Hashmi and Kangana.

The young actor said entering Bollywood wasn't a cakewalk for him even though his father is a known actor.

'Even though I'm Shekhar Suman's son, as an individual I'm nobody. It wasn't easy for me at all to enter the film industry just because my father has been in the industry for so long.

'Unless you are promising and have talent no one will put money on you and that goes for everyone.
