Shaan On Children Getting Privileges

During the candid chat, Shaan pointed out that children of celebrities often enjoy certain advantages. However, he emphasized that not all of them are able to replicate their parents' success. He stated, “We must acknowledge that these children benefit from their parents' fame. Some have more privileges than others, but many fail to grasp the essence of hard work. They often equate their identity with being the child of a celebrity, mistakenly believing that this alone is an accomplishment.”

He shared an example involving his younger son, Soham, who approaches tasks with the mindset of a struggler. When asked why, Soham explained that without effort, he wouldn't truly understand the value of hard work and success.

Shaan shared, “I always wished to see my father proud of my achievements. He was a strong individual who faced numerous challenges. Despite his immense talent, he did not experience the success he deserved, which pains me deeply. I wish he could have seen my accomplishments. I am not even close to being 2 percent of what he was. I wish he could have lived a bit longer to witness it. My mother, however, did see my success.”
