This statement was made during an interview with Siddharth Kannan, where Shekhar and his son, Adhyayan Suman, talked about working with Bhansali.

Adhyayan shared his initial fears about working on Bhansali's Netflix series, "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar," where he plays a supporting role.

He admitted to being terrified due to Bhansali’s reputation but found the experience enriching, saying, “He loves his actors, they're like his children.”

Shekhar argued that being short-tempered is common among perfectionists, as they often feel others do not meet their high standards. "You will always notice that perfectionists are short-tempered," he explained, adding that legendary filmmakers like K. Asif and Raj Kapoor were similar.
