Noted Bollywood playback singer Kumar Sanu’s son, Jaan Kumar Sanu recently said in an interview that he has been rejected for jobs just because he is Kumar Sanu’s son. 

He also expressed how going on a reality show like Bigg Boss helped him make a name in the industry.  

In an interview with a leading daily, Jaan said, “In fact, I would say I am struggling double the efforts put by any normal person because I am Kumar Sanu’s son.” 

He further said, “People think that I am born with a silver spoon and everything comes to me easy but that’s not the case.” 

"Honestly, it’s been much more difficult. I can’t talk about other people, I can talk about myself. Because I am so and so’s son, people think that 'this guy was born with a silver spoon and he has got a lot of work'. So why help someone who’s already so privileged. 'Let’s give someone else a chance, and that has worked against me for so many years. I’ve been rejected by people even before they have heard me singing. They have not heard me and have just assumed that I must be having a lot of work. I am fighting against it and trying to prove myself,” he added.  

Jaan had earlier also said that his parents separated when his mother was pregnant with him and he also expressed how he has never taken his dad’s help for any professional reasons.   

He said, "My father has never been a part of my life. I have no idea why he never supported or promoted me as a singer – you can ask him why.” 

Earlier, in an interview, he said, “There were misconceptions that I might be getting a lot of help from my father as he is a noted singer. I wanted to dispel those misconceptions. I am not afraid to speak the truth out loud.”

Jaan Kumar Sanu was seen in Bigg Boss 14 as a contestant and became a popular name.
