Shekhar Suman, a veteran actor and TV host, is back in the news with his new talk show. This is a big comeback for him after years of not hosting late night shows. Fans who have been waiting for him to come back are thrilled, and his son, Adhyayan Suman, wrote a touching note to happily celebrate his dad’s return.
In a moving speech, Adhyayan asked people to support the famous performer and “give India its OG star back.” People online quickly took notice of what he said, especially those who remember Shekhar Suman’s famous TV years in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The actor is back with a new talk show on YouTube called Shekhar Tonite. The show just started, but fans are already talking about how it’s bringing back old school late night fun in India.
What Shekhar Suman Did for Indian Talk Shows
Shekhar Suman had already made a name for himself with Movers & Shakers a long time before India had a lot of star chat shows. When it first started in 1997, the show was a big hit thanks to its satirical fun, talks with famous people, and Shekhar’s amazing impersonations.
He was one of the most famous TV hosts of that time because of his quick wit and daring political humor. People loved how he talked about politicians, like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who used to be the Prime Minister.
Shekhar Suman has been the host of several other TV shows over the years, including Simply Shekhar and Carry On Shekhar. These shows added to his reputation as one of India’s funniest news reporters.
Even though he was successful, the experienced performer slowly stopped hosting major talk shows. His exit left a hole in Indian TV that many fans still remember with fondness.
Now that he’s back after almost 14 years, his return is seen as a romantic return to a type of entertainment that used to be very popular on Indian TV.

People are interested in Adhyayan Suman’s touching note
The moving public message that Adhyayan Suman sent to his father along with the show’s premiere really made news. The star said out loud that he liked what Shekhar Suman did for Indian culture and asked people to fully back him.
On social media, people were moved by the emotional tone of the message. They praised the father son relationship and Adhyayan for recognising his father’s impact on Indian TV culture.
Many people agreed with him and said that Shekhar Suman was one of the first stars to bring Indian viewers late night talk shows with celebrities, long before they were popular.
Not only did Adhyayan’s note show pride, it also showed a strong emotional link to his father’s trip. For many fans, it was one of the most moving parts of the show’s premiere.
Politics is talked about at the start of Shekhar Tonite
Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister, was the first guest on the new show Shekhar Tonite. During the chat, Shekhar talked about some memorable events from his early days as a host and told tales from his long career in show business.
One story that got people’s attention was about Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who used to be Prime Minister. As an example, Shekhar remembered that Vajpayee had liked his impersonations and told him so in person. The experienced host said that the political leader even stopped his vehicle to praise him.
He also remembered an interesting late night conversation he had with Bal Thackeray when he was younger and working as a TV host. Shekhar said that the father of the Shiv Sena had a strong aura and remembered getting a call from him in the middle of the night before an interview.
These stories made me miss the days when TV talks had a mix of fun, politics, and honest stories, which fans say doesn’t happen very often these days.
