Despite their ugly break-up, Adhyayan Suman respects ex-flame Kangana Ranaut as he is aware of what she had to go through in the early days of her career. He had shared screen space with her in Raaz: The Mystery Continues (2009). Her resilience coupled with hard work kept her going all these years. Ranaut took on the big guns in the industry and still managed to make a name for herself. That's quite an achievement for an outsider like Ranaut, points out Suman.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the Jashn actor stated, "People say that I keep talking ill about my ex. But I have always made it clear that I respect Kangana a lot. She has been through a lot and worked hard to earn the respect and fame that she enjoys today. She is the perfect example who fought the bigger people in the industry and made a huge name for herself. So hats off to her."
