Shaheer Sheikh

“I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood.”

“I have learnt one thing in life: that if you love someone, you have to accept that person with his/her flaws.”

“Earlier, I used to try to act, but now I just react naturally. I feel the scene and then do it. Emotions, feelings just flow in naturally.”

“Arjun is very close to my heart, and even the audiences associate me with the character.”

“I feel Arjun is one of the central characters of 'Mahabharata' and people have lots of expectations from me when I started working on the show.”

“If you do a bad role in a film, you may not get television offers in future.”

“The movie 'Devdas' is extremely close to my heart. It is one of my favourite movies. and the name Dev, too, is something I like a lot.”

“When I was shooting for 'Mahabharat,' in those one or one and a half years, I didn't live my life. I was living as Arjun. Not even one single day I was Shaheer. But that paid off very well, as everyone loved my role.”

“When I told my dad about my decision to take up acting, he supported me in every possible way. He's very proud of me. Mom's happy because, as an avid TV viewer, she loves seeing me up there.”

“I really don't believe in planning my life. I am just going with the flow and following my heart.”

“When I get time after pack up, I try hitting the gym or go for a jog.”

“One thing just led to another, and today, here I am, acting in a daily soap, and I am just loving it.”

“Putting yourself in danger just to meet me or talk to me is not a sensible idea.”

“I have no notion of a perfect woman, as I feel if I fall in love, it can be with a wrong person also.”

“I never joined the TV industry for fame.”

“I worked very hard playing Arjun, and I was consumed by the character.”

“I don't think I have the power to do more mythological shows, but I would love to if it's like a finite series. But doing that as a daily soap is not easy.”

“I don't mind if what they write about me has some truth in it. Pure imagination makes me feel sad about the whole thing.”

“My fans' love and support keep me going. I've a cupboard which comprises letters, cards, and gifts sent by my fans. They encourage me whenever I feel low.”

“My fans write to me every day, and I feel connected to them. They know me, and I know most of them by their name.”
