Shaheer Sheikh on real bond with reel mother, Supriya Pilgaonkar, of ‘Kuch Rang…’

The popular family drama, ‘Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi’ is returning to our TV screens for a third season in June. Shaheer Sheikh who stars in the show alongside Erica Fernandes and Supriya Pilgaonkar, recently spoke about his relationship with the latter who plays his on-screen mother.

In an interview with SpotBoyE, Sheikh revealed that even in real life he regards Pilgaonkar as his second mother. Explaining their mother-son bond, Sheikh said, “I try to live the character and while living the character of Dev, the bonding which I created with Supriya Ji is so real. I feel myself lucky that I genuinely got motherly love from her. Our relationship is so pure and I could feel that bond from the very first day when we shot our scene together. It is not like that our bond was created over the period of time. When I used to do scenes with her I used to actually feel every dialogue.”

As well as seeking advice from his own mother, Sheikh said he asks Maa Pilgaonkar for her guidance too, “Har chiz mein. In all my important decisions, I keep her involved. Of course, I also call my mother and discuss everything and share what I have in my mind and heart. Similarly, I do with Maa also. Jitne chizo ke liye calls Mummy ko jata hai utne chizo ke liye Maa ko bhi calls jata hai. Both of their decisions matter to me and mostly they both are on the same page.”

Both are so close, that when Sheikh and Ruchikaa Kapoor tied the knot in 2020, Pilgaonkar also attended their court marriage.
