Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Shekhar said, “Jab I lost my son, Aayush. Das saal ki umar main maine jab usse kho diya tha toh main zindagi se poori tarah tabah aur barbaad ho gaya tha. Mujhe jeena hi nahi tha. I lost a part of my heart who was dearest to me. Aur main zameen par sar patak ke roya tha. Phir uske baad mujhe jeene ki iccha bhi nahi thi.” (I lost Aayush when he was 10 years old and I was devastated. I didn’t want to live my life, I cried while beating my head to the ground).

Shekhar even got emotional that he lost the motivation to even work after his son’s death. He said, “Main bejaan ho gaya tha. Ek dikhaave ki duniya this jahan main hass muskura deta tha ya for economic necessity kyuki mujhe ghar chalana tha. Par mujhe jeene ki iccha nahi thi (I was lifeless. I was pretending to laugh or had to work to run my household, but I did not have the will to live).”
