I have learnt one thing in life: that if you love someone, you have to accept that person with his/her flaws.
Shaheer Sheikh
I have a message for all the birdies who try to get in touch with people online who they think might help them to meet me or give my personal information. That will never happen. Don't believe anything anyone tells you on social media about me because not even my parents know what I am up to.
I am thankful to all the love that I have received from my fans.
I like challenges, and thus, I keep trying something different and new every time. And these challenges and interests turn into passion.
That's my whole motivation in life - to educate people to become better a citizen, better person, better son, and better father.
Photography is my passion. Whenever I get time, I click.
I am a person who keeps doing something or the other, pursuing one interest after another.
I really don't believe in planning my life. I am just going with the flow and following my heart.
I was studying in Pune when I was asked to audition for 'Navya' through a social networking site. Once I landed the show, there's been no looking back.
I was happy being a lawyer, and the thought of becoming a model or even actor never came to my mind, even though I knew I looked good.
I'm from Jammu, and every time I go to there, I make it a point to stop by Delhi and meet up with my friends and, of course, eat the chaat here.
A lot of subjects are untouched by the Indian Television.
I do what I feel like doing.
I'm fun with people I know. But at the same time, people also say that I am a little cold, rude, and moody. 'Moody' is the word they generally use for me.
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.
Feeling and reacting has more impact than just trying to emote what your character's saying.
I learned acting while doing my shows. I never joined any course or anything. I just jumped into acting. I learn from experience.
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 can do a dance, adventure, or sports-based reality shows. But I cannot live in a locked house because I'm very moody.
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.
Delhi is like my second home.
Arjun was a perfectionist. He was the perfect son, the perfect husband, the perfect father and, above else, a great warrior.
I live every day as it comes. I never plan my life.
I have learnt one thing in life: if you love being with someone, you have to accept that person with all the flaws.
I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood.
When I am not shooting, all my waking hours are dedicated to horse riding and gymming.
The show 'Mahabharat' has given me sleepless night; I just couldn't stop thinking about it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, and I don't want to leave it at any cost.
I am drawn towards this new format of web series.
It's amazing when people who don't even know you pray for your good heath and success. But being a private person, sometimes I don't know how to handle the adulation that comes my way.
Arjun is very close to my heart, and even the audiences associate me with the character.
I would love to do films, but the script has to excite me.
To get married, I need to first fall in love.
I have no notion of a perfect woman, as I feel if I fall in love, it can be with a wrong person also.
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.
I have worked too hard on my body. I hope people like it.
TV does not have anything meaty to offer the male actors. It is a female-dominated industry.
I have no idea if I will go for an arranged marriage or love marriage.
I never joined the TV industry for fame.
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.
Playing the character of Arjun is a challenging task, and I like taking up challenges.
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.
I am not really keen on doing reality shows. But you never know.
Supriyaji is my all-time favourite actor. 'Tu Tu Main Main' was the first show I watched as a kid, and I have loved her work since then.
My work keeps me so busy that I don't have much time even to interact with my family.
Putting yourself in danger just to meet me or talk to me is not a sensible idea.
I always wanted to act. I am very passionate about the art. So when I got the opportunity, I was more than happy.
One thing just led to another, and today, here I am, acting in a daily soap, and I am just loving it.
Arjun's character has brought discipline in my life. Now everything happens in my life well planned. Initially, I used to get up at any time, but now I get up at appropriate time, and I keep a check on my diet.
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.
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.
