Shivaleeka Oberoi On Producer Mahavir Oberoi: I Never Met My Grandfather, He Passed Away When My Dad Was 17 Years Old

Talking to Hindustan Times, Shivaleeka said, “Not at all, I have actually never met my grandfather. He passed away when my dad was barely 17 years old. I have only heard stories about him producing a film from my parents, and that too, only after I ventured into acting. After I completed my graduation and I started giving auditions, that is when my parents actually showed me a black-and-white poster of my dada’s film Sheba and Hercules (1967). We had no connections in the industry.”

“My dada must have had connections with actors and producers back then but then he passed away very early,” she added. She then said that her father did not have any connections and built up his life after losing his father. Shivaleeka’s mother has been a teacher for 25 years and has been the headmistress of a school. She said that even though it is very difficult for an outsider to even get their first film, she believes that hard-work pays off.

Khuda Jafiz also stars Ahana Kumra, Shiv Panditt and Annu Kapoor in pivotal roles. It has been directed by Faruk Kabir and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak under Panorama Studios.
