We all envy the lives of celebrities and always wish to live like them. But as they say, everything comes with a price and so is stardom. A celeb’s life is always under constant media scrutiny, barring them from having a normal life. From what they eat, to what they wear and whom they are dating, everything becomes a topic of discussion. The freedom to step out without being clicked or having a family dinner away from paparazzi is just a distant dream for them. And above all, rumours and speculations about their personal lives is always the radar of gossip columns.

Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi, Mahabharat, Yeh Rishte Hain Pyaar Ke star, Shaheer Sheikh is one such actor, whose personal life has always gathered a lot of attention. He was earlier rumoured to be dating actress, Erica Fernandes but the two had always maintained their ‘just friends’ stance. From past few months, rumours about Shaheer dating the Creative Producer and Executive Vice President at Balaji, Ruchikaa Kapoor has been doing the rounds. And now, Shaheer confirmed his relationship with her.
On November 5, 2020, Shaheer took to his IG handle and shared a picture with Ruchikaa Kapoor. The two looked adorable as they made funny faces while posing for the picture.

In an interview with The Times of India, Shaheer Sheikh had revealed his wedding plans and shared that when the time is right, he will spill the beans on his dating life. Shaheer had said, “The lockdown made me realise that I keep pushing this (marriage) every next two years, but you never know if you will see those years. But, right now, to start a family, I need a bigger apartment and I am working towards that. As far as dating is concerned, I will definitely spill the beans and let the world know when the time is right.”
Shaheer Sheikh had revealed that his parents are pushing him to get married soon, in a 2019 interview with the Bombay Times. Speaking about knowing the girl before tying the knot and marrying not just because of the social pressure, Shaheer had said, "My parents have tried everything, photos dikhaaye hain bahut baar. I remember this one time when I was out shopping with my sister, and a girl met me at the mall, which was secretly arranged by my mom. My parents, who are currently in Mumbai, have been breathing down my neck for me to settle down. They have vowed that they won't go back home until I get married. So, I will have to figure a way out (laughs!). I can take the plunge only when I feel it from within. I can't do it just because the family, society and people around want me to. When you are not sure about a relationship culminating in marriage, you shouldn't go ahead with it. Or else, you will end up scarring lives and that's the worst you can do to each other. Also, I can't get married to a person without knowing her." (Also Read: Saif Ali Khan Reveals Details About Son, Ibrahim Ali Khan's Bollywood Debut, Says He's 'Prepared')
