Actor, Shaheer Sheikh and his wife, Ruchikaa Kapoor are enjoying every moment of their parenthood journey.

A few months after Shaheer and Ruchikaa's wedding, rumours about the couple expecting their first child had started doing the rounds.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Shaheer Sheikh opened up about becoming a father. Shaheer stated that he always wanted to be a father of a baby girl. Calling childbirth the biggest miracle, he said, "Childbirth is the biggest miracle on earth. It is the most beautiful process. When you feel the kick, it is just so wonderful. Women are looked after during pregnancies, and rightly so as they go through so much, but the men, too, should get some attention as a father goes through a lot emotionally as well. In India, men are supposed to be strong, not supposed to share or have emotions. I am not that kind of person and express myself."
Shaheer further reveals that he doesn't know what kind of a father he will be but he will definitely spoil his child. Once during a modelling pageant, Shaheer had stated that he would love to be pregnant if wake up as a woman one day. Recalling his answer, the handsome actor said, "I was asked, ‘what would you do if you wake up as a woman one day?’. I replied, ‘I would love to be pregnant’. That answer came spontaneously without hesitation! Man’s biggest limitation is that he can never give birth to a child. It is a superpower that only women have. Women are stronger than men to deal with childbirth physically and emotionally."

Shaheer, who is presently shooting for Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi 2 and Pavitra Rishta 2 talked about his paternity leave and said, "The plan was not to do anything a few months before and after the delivery but due to the lockdown, projects got pushed and I had to shoot for two shows simultaneously. In the first trimester, I was at home and I tried to spend as much time as possible at home."
On August 22, 2021, Shaheer Sheikh had organised an intimate baby shower for Ruchikaa. For the ceremony, Ruchikaa had looked stunning in purple attire, while Shaheer had kept his look casual. Flaunting her pregnancy glow and cute baby bump, Ruchikaa had posed amid pastel-coloured balloons. The ceremony was attended by their close friends.
