In his interview with Bollywood Now, Shekhar remarked, “There are many good things in this era too. But there are also shortcomings. All these new young actors want fame very soon in their life. They want stardom overnight, they want to be seen everywhere, everyone should talk about them, reels are being made. They are bothered by flaunting themselves and others are bothered by watching.“

He further added’ “They are being spotted at their homes, airports and gyms. And everywhere they act surprised like they didn’t know people are going to be there, given those people are called by them.”
