The
scathing
reviews
of
his
son's
debut
film
Sadiyaan
has
left
Shatrughan
Sinha
wondering
if
his
son
Luv
Sinha
is
being
put
through
the
grinder
because
of
whose
son
he
is.
Says
the
protective
father,
"It's
quite
clear
that
Luv
is
paying
a
price
for
being
my
son.
He
isn't
being
given
a
chance
to
make
his
presence
felt.
People
who
have
scores
to
settle
with
me
are
coming
out
to
target
my
boy.
It
isn't
fair."
Continues
the
Shotgun,
"Tell
me
which
newcomer
has
not
been
awkward
in
his
first
film.
Why
be
so
harsh
with
Luv?
Does
he
not
deserve
a
chance
just
because
he
is
my
son?"
Shatrughan
Sinha
comes
out
in
defence
against
Shekhar
Suman's
son
Adhyayan's
accusation
that
Luv
had
insulted
Suman
Sr.
Says
Sinha,
"My
son
has
been
brought
up
well.
He
knows
how
to
show
respect
to
his
elders.
Please
ask
my
colleagues
Rishi
Kapoor,
Hema
Malini
and
Rekha
who
played
his
parents
in
Sadiyaan.
Has
Luv
ever
been
disrespectful
to
them?
So
what
is
this
about
my
boy
calling
Shekhar
Suman
names
on
a
social
networking
website?"
Apparently,
Luv
called
Shekhar
Suman
a
"clown" on
Facebook.
Adhyayan
retaliated
by
calling
Luv
an
"idiot".
Defends
Shatrughan,
"Luv
says
his
account
was
hacked.
He
never
called
Shekhar
a
name.
I
believe
my
son.
He
never
lies.
The
matter
ends
there.
Shekhar
has
been
smarting
ever
since
he
lost
his
deposit
when
he
contested
the
Lok
Sabha
elections
against
me
in
Bihar."
Not
that
Shatrughan
Sinha
is
saying
that
his
son
deserves
to
be
showered
in
praise
for
his
debut
performance.
"He
is
raw.
He's
new.
He
needs
experience.
And
he
needs
encouragement.
Not
below-the-belt
comments
about
his
looks,
his
parents,
etc.
Some
of
our
biggest
superstars
were
awkward
on
camera
when
they
came
in.
I
was
relentlessly
and
ruthlessly
criticized
for
my
looks
when
I
did
my
initial
films
like
Gambler
and
Saajan.
I
was
told
to
go
back
to
Bihar.
I
survived.
All
I
am
saying
is
to
give
the
boy
a
chance
to
prove
himself.
Do
not
use
him
to
settle
personal
scores
with
me."
