Shoaib's resilience and strength have recently drawn the attention of fans. Married to former Bigg Boss winner and actress Dipika Kakar since February 2018, he is currently facing a challenging time alongside her. Earlier this year, Dipika was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer and recently underwent surgery as part of her treatment for the life-threatening illness. While she is now back home, her therapy is still ongoing.
Dipika and Shoaib are proud parents to an adorable baby boy, Ruhaan, whom they welcomed in June 2023.
On the work front, Shoaib rose to fame with his role in shows including Sasural Simar Ka, Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai, Rehna Hai Teri Palkon Ki Chhaon Mein and Ishq Mein Marjaavan, among others. He was also one of the finalists in the dance reality show, Jhalak Dikkhla Jaa 11.
Moving on to Nikita Roy, the film features Sonakshi as an investigator who challenges fake supernatural claims, until she comes across a case that is beyond logic and her beliefs. It is directed by Sonakshi's brother, Kussh S Sinha.
Earlier, Kussh opened up on directing sister Sonakshi in the film in a chat with News18 Showsha. He said, 'Very professional. She's an experienced actor, so on set, she wasn't just my sister; she was a collaborator. She respected my role as director and I respected her as an actor. Apart from one funny disagreement about the colour of ice cream in a scene, everything went smoothly."
Nikita Roy, starring Sonakshi alongside Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal, is set to release on July 18.

It was such a tough year. Pata hai, shoot karte samay aisa lag nai raha tha. (You know, while shooting it never felt that way.) Shoot karte samay aisa lag raha tha bas mehnat karo, mehnat karo. (While shooting, it only felt like—just work hard, keep working hard.) The whole year I remember I was shooting MRS. I shot four films that year. I was shooting Jawan; in the middle I shot Kathal, then again we went back to Jawan. Then in between, I shot MRS. And amidst all this, we were also shooting Sam Bahadur. Then I had to return to Jawan again. Most of the time I was spending time at the airport. My entire team and I remember hum bags leke ek airport se dusare airport jaa rahe the. (My team and I were constantly carrying bags, moving from one airport to another.) Aur uss time pe mere dimaag pe aaya bhi nai ki inn sab ka reward national award hoga. (And at that time, it never even crossed my mind that all this would be rewarded with a National Award.) And it feels very special. Maine hamesha se socha hai hard work karo. Karam karo aur faal ki ich ana karo. (I have always believed—just work hard, do your karma, and don't desire the fruits.) I never thought kabhi hoga mere sath. (I never thought something like this would ever happen with me.) Main sar jhuka ke 10 saal se kaam kar rahe hu. (I have been working with my head down for 10 years now.) Kabhi socha nai iska mujhe reward milna chahiye. (I never thought that I deserved any reward for it.) I am very happy."

Impressive singing for Shabana Azmi Speaking to News18, the singer said that she was completely impressed when she first sang for Shabana Azmi. In 'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara', she sang just one line and it sounded exactly like Shabana's voice—so much so that people would think Shabana was singing it herself. Later, when she sang for her in 'Saaz' and 'In Custody', the way Shabana moved her lips made it feel like the song truly belonged to her. Unforgettable experience singing for Sridevi She also opened up about singing for Sridevi, describing the experience as unforgettable. She said that when she first went to Lakshmikant's house to learn the song, she didn't even know it was hers because, due to the scale, she thought it must be for Asha. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gleiten Sie in Ihre finanzielle Zukunft eToro Click Here Undo However, when she was told it was for Sridevi and that her voice would remain, she couldn't believe it. Hilarious anecdote from rehearsals Kavita Krishnamurti also shared a hilarious anecdote from the rehearsals. She described the rehearsal as hilarious, picturing Boney Kapoor , Javed Akhtar , Lakshmikant and Pyarelal all sitting in the drawing room while she sat with her notebook. Lakshmikant told her to write down the lyrics, so she wrote: Chi Hua Hua. Honolulu. She kept looking at Javed, wondering if those were really his words. That evening at home, she drove her mother mad by repeating 'Chi Hua Hua… Honolulu…' at the dinner table and even before bed. Her mother thought she had lost it. Finally, in the studio the next day, Javed walked in and said that he had found the last word for the song. Late last night, it came to him that it should end with 'Mombasa'.
