Shaheer Sheikh also mentioned that it took him three days to let the feeling of being a father sink in. He added, “I have never ever felt anything close to that, and it took almost three days to sink in. Whenever I look at her, I feel overwhelmed. There is this crazy range of emotions going through me which I don’t even understand. So it took me a lot of time because I was running around, a lot was happening.”

Mentioning that how he was busy a few days to ensure that everything is fine, Shaheer added, “It didn’t sink in and I was not understanding the whole thing.

I had no clue what’s happening to me emotionally and mentally.” Talking about their baby’s name, Shaheer mentioned that he and his wife, Ruchikaa have not decided on any name for their baby girl yet.
In a conversation with ETimes, talking about his approach towards fatherhood, Shaheer had said, “I have my own theories to follow as a father. You often resolve that when you become a parent, you will do certain things in a particular way and I, too, had thought about it. Now, whether that happens depends on destiny. But I believe that every individual should have the right to follow their path and dreams and I want that for my child, too.”
Shaheer Sheikh and Ruchikaa Kapoor had tied the knot in November 2020.
