Shaheer Sheikh at the signing of Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke: "People who know me were shocked when I signed the series"

The fans were both shocked and delighted when they learned that Shaheer Sheikh had signed the contract with Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke. Shaheer had already made it clear in many interviews that he would never want to do a daily soap opera that would last a long time. But Shaheer found the role very interesting and agreed to do it. S addressing the media during the press conference of the show, he said: "The people who know me were shocked when I signed the show. I was pretty hesitant at first. I've always said that daily soap operas do not suit me because heroes do not have a lot of space on the screen. They have no story to tell nor a graph of characters. That's why I refused some shows that became popular. "

He adds:" It is not that I regret it; I would follow the same path even if I could rethink my decisions. I would choose a Salim-Anarkali before everything else. I played the iconic character of Salim, a unique opportunity in a lifetime. This is the kind of show I would like to show my kids. The actor also added that he was initially planning to extend his stay in Indonesia, but that he returned early for this broadcast.

Here is a preview of the show!
