How did your passion for photography start?
It started during my modeling days. I was lucky to get the opportunity to work with some of the best photographers in the industry and I picked up a lot of tips and techniques from them. This inspired to take up photography as a profession.



Which has been the most memorable compliment that you received for your pictures?
I had clicked pictures of Smiley Suri and her friends commented that she has never looked so beautiful before. That was really a memorable compliment.



Which have been your most enjoyable photo shoots till date?
I had done a photo shoot with my co-star from Kya Mast Hai Life, Sana Sheikh and that was fun since she is photogenic. I had also clicked some pictures of Soumya Seth and everyone loved them.



How did the transition from photography to acting happen?
I had not planned to get into acting, it just happened by chance. I had just auditioned and was in Pune when I got a call informing me I am selected for a show and will have to return to Mumbai immediately. My friends convinced me about how I suit the role and all that, so I agreed to do it. It does not mean I have given up photography, I am still equally passionate about it.

Besides photography what else are you passionate about?
I love horse riding, swimming and cooking. I am also passionate about direction and plan to pursue it in the future.



Since, you are a good cook, which dishes are your specialties?
My family is not with me in Mumbai, so I have experimented with a lot of dishes and have become quite a good cook now. I learnt to cook Methi chicken with cream from my sister and it has become my specialty. My friends request me to cook that dish whenever they visit me at home. I also like sweets and have learnt to prepare them. My friends also love the Gajar Ka Halwa that I prepare. It is a long process but I make it whenever I have an off. Being a bachelor, there have been some interesting incidents, I have forgotten some ingredients and there has been chaos in the kitchen.



Tell us more about our love for horse riding?
I discovered my love for horse riding while shooting for Jhansi Ki Rani. I used to ride this horse named Kajal and I completely fell in love with her. It is amazing how the rider shares a close bond with his horse and connects with the horse.


Since, you love animals, have you thought of getting a pet?
I love not only animals but birds too. Nevertheless, I believe that animals deserve to live in their natural habitat so I haven't really thought about getting a pet.

I find it interesting that Shaheer takes credit for the pictures he took of Smiley but when it comes to his co-stars whether it was Sana Sheikh or Soumya Seth (in another interview) he said they were both photogenic (so their pictures came out beautiful naturally). What does that imply?

Anyways, I do like Smiley Suri from her Kalyug days. I think she is an interesting, smart and witty person and also a great dancer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
