Shekhar recounted the grief he experienced when Aayush passed away at the age of ten. He spoke about feeling completely broken without the will to live, as he lost a part of himself. 

Recalling beating his head on the ground in grief, he got emotional and revealed that he lost interest in success and wealth after his son died. He expressed feeling empty, just going through the motions of life to support his family but not really wanting to live.

In the same interview, the actor talked about his son, Adhyayan, receiving praise from a popular Bollywood filmmaker. Shekhar recalled shedding tears of joy when Sanjay Leela Bhansali praised Adhyayan's acting. 


In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming series, Heeramandi, Shekhar plays the role of Zulfiqar Ahmed, a character full of authority and sophistication. Adhyayan is also part of the same project and portrays the role of Zorawar Ali Khan, a rich and arrogant nawab.
