Talking about his career, Shaheer told Hindustan Times in an interview last year, “We get paid for the days we work, TV actors are like daily wagers. If we are not shooting for two to six months, it is fine but beyond a point, it does bother you. It becomes tough, especially now that I have responsibilities and stuff. At one point in time, it was a concern for me.”

Elaborating on how he managed finances during the time, Shaheer added, “Then some projects worked out and I started working again. I have been able to do music albums and social media posts those helped me a lot.”
