Shaheer Sheikh recalls how he went jobless after Navya, says he 'switched to photography' to sustain himself

The film and TV industries are places where your future is uncertain. It takes years, and a lot of effort for people to make it into these industries and what's even harder is to sustain and maintain themselves. Only a few make it to the top and stay on top for years. Shaheer Sheikh is one such name. Not only has he won hearts in India, but the actor also has a huge fan following in Indonesia. Now, in a recent interview, he opened up about the time when he had no projects at hand for over a year and he had to switch to photography.

Talking to Zoom, Sheheer recalled, “Of course, there was a big gap between Navya and Mahabharat when I had switched to photography. I started doing photography.” He added, “I used to do folios for my friends because there were few projects which were getting delayed. There was almost one year span where I was only doing auditions and roaming around. So, I think that was the phase between Navya and Mahabharat.”

Shaheer is now in a happy space, both in his professional and in his personal life. The actor would be seen playing Manav in Pavitra Rishta 2 opposite Ankita Lokhande. He also recently became a father to a baby girl. His daughter was born on 10th September.
