Television actor Shaheer Sheikh is going through a tough phase in his life since he lost his father, Shahnawaz Sheikh to COVID. Shaheer recently shared pictures of his father and penned an emotional note for his late father.
Shaheer Sheikh wrote, “There is greatness in patience, kindness, and humility…There is happiness in giving to others…And there is peace in honesty…If there was ever a manual on the most incredible person, my dad was it. To lose him, to watch him go away has been the most painful phase of my life. He has left a void. In my heart. In my life. But before that, he has filled my life with meaning and purpose. He has filled it with so much love and compassion, that I don’t think there is any space for resentment. I’ve been blessed to watch the glorious life he lived, to witness the love he gave to one and all, to see the respect he had for everyone big or small. There is no goodbye here papa because a part of you will always live on in me. Thank you for choosing me to be your son. Rest in peace. He shall always be with you Shaheer like a guardian angel. #forveverur son. There can be no bigger honor. #loveYouPapa (sic)”
Ashnoor Kaur, who considers Shaheer to be her elder brother, commented on his post and wrote, “Stay strong bhaiya, may he rest in peace❤️🙏🏻.” Mushtaq Sheikh also gave strength to Shaheer through his words. He wrote, “Rest in peace. He shall always be with you Shaheer like a guardian angel. #forvever.”
Hina Khan, who lost her dad nine months ago, commented on Shaheer’s post and wrote, “And exactly after 9 months, this Dear uncle I met you a few months back, you were so warm and loving to me..I remember every minute of the time we spent tht day.whyyyyy Allah aapko jannat ataa farmaaye I am left with no words..
