/> Adhyayan Suman who last year remained in the news for his tumultuous association with Kangna Ranaut is now looking to rebuild his career after the storm.

Adhyayan minces no words while saying he regretted the stormy affair with Kangna. "I was too young, too immature and gullible. My parents and my friends warned me I was losing out on my career because of my relationship.

Like any young besotted guy I couldn't see reason. I thought anyone who advised me against the relationship was my enemy. I was blinded my passion.

I don't blame Kangna for anything. It was a great learning experience for me. And I'm glad I went through it at the start of my career instead of later when I'd have much more to lose."

The young actor is now trying to rebuild his career. "I got a great break in Raaz. Then decent reviews for Jashn. The Bhatts gave me a great break. But unfortunately the marketing was not done properly."

Adhyayan admits he had to spend Rs 30 lakhs from the family's pocket for the marketing and promotion of Jashn.

‘But I'll always be grateful to the Bhatts. I don't regret the Kangna episode either. I see them as important links in my growth as a humanbeing and actor. I'm ready to start again."

Adhyayan is now playing the lead in Rani Mukherjee's brother Raja Mukherjee's film and also Telugu hotshot Sekhar Suri's film about how stars are exploited by politicians during election campaigns.

"It starts off as a story of a star who campaigns for a politician. Then when he realizes that he's being used by wrong elements the star stands for elections himself.

I quite identify with the character's growth from smugness to selfconsciousness. I know I've been blind and I seemed arrogant in my attitude. All that has changed now, " says Adhyayan.
