He
Was
7
When
He
Performed
On
Stage
''He
has
had
a
very
interesting
journey
because
he
started
working
as
a
child,
then
he
started
taking
Shiamak
Davar
classes
and
before
that
he
did
something
in
Delhi
for
a
series
where
he
played
a
7-year-old
child,
who
was
separated
from
his
mother.
He
[Shahid]
was
brilliant
at
that
time,
he
was
7-year-old.''
Shahid
Gave
Us
All
The
Luxuries
&
Comfort
''The
first
time
we
saw
him
perform,
the
entire
team
was
like
'yeh
bacha
nahi
hai
yaar.
Kya
hai
yeh!
Kya
karta
hai
yeh'.
I
saw
Shahid
growing
as
a
dancer
after
that
and
he
became
an
impeccable
performer.
After
that,
he
just
changed
our
lives.
He
took
our
lives
forward
in
Bombay.
We
started
living
better,
we
had
all
the
luxuries
and
comfort."
My
Stress
Was
Over;
He
Was
Taking
Care
Of
Us
"My
stress
was
over.
I
was
a
single
mother
and
till
today
he
is
taking
care
of
Ishaan
and
me
in
every
way.
He
is
like
'hats
off'!
Shahid
has
worked
very
hard
and
has
had
a
very
challenging
journey
and
the
thing
about
both
my
boys
is
that
they
are
very
good
sons,
very
honest
and
clean
and
extremely
vulnerable.
Ishaan
is
more
like
joyous
and
has
his
own
energy.''
Both
Shahid
&
Ishaan
Are
Wonderful
''All
I
can
say
is,
both
of
them
have
been
sparkling
in
their
own
times.
Ishaan
has
been
very
fortunate
that
he
started
with
Majid
Majidi
and
then
Dharma,
with
Shashank
and
Karan
with
him
so,
Mashallah,
he
had
a
quicker
and
faster
journey
and
I
suppose
the
younger
ones
do
have
it
that
way
while
the
elder
ones
do
create
a
little
more
hard
work
for
themselves.
That's
the
way
its
always
been.
But
both
of
them
are
wonderful.''
Ishaan
Takes
Guidance
From
Shahid
''In
Ishaan's
case,
his
guru
has
always
been
his
brother
and
it
is
very
kind
of
him
to
always
give
me
the
honour
and
that
standing
in
his
life.
I
have
watched
both
the
brothers
very
closely
and
it
is
amazing
how
Sasha
has
guided
him
in
life.
He
has
played
more
than
an
elder
brother's
role
because
I
was
a
single
mother,
there
was
no
father
as
such
living
with
us.
So,
Ishaan
is
mostly
being
guided,
groomed
and
trained
by
his
brother.
"
All
The
Credit
Goes
To
Shahid
"He
has
learnt
a
lot
from
Shahid
and
his
brother
has
not
like
sat
him
down
and
taught
it
to
him.
He
just
took
him
along
and
let
him
savour
the
ambience
and
swim
in
waters
naturally.
All
the
credit
goes
to
his
elder
brother
and
the
rest
of
credit
you
can
see
in
Dhadak
because
I
can't
speak
so
much
about
Ishaan
as
he
has
just
arrived
BUT
I
can
speak
about
Shahid
as
he
has
earned
it
in
the
15
years
of
his
career.
He
has
done
his
Kaminey,
Haider,
Udta
Punjab,
Padmaavat,
he
has
done
some
fantastic
amount
of
work."
