Recalling the fond memory with her mom, Shekhar penned on his IG, "It’s my Mom’s birthday today and wanted to post a picture of her .. looking really happy. .. not just a portrait .. but a happy picture for that’s what she always was as I remember her .. (sic)."
However, the director could not help but wonder why he was sulking in the pic while everyone else was ebullient, especially given that he had been told that he was an extremely energetic child.
".. but why am I sulking ? from what my cousins told me I was too high energy for anyone to handle .. so why do I look as if I’m sulking in every pic that I can find ?," the Masoom maker added.
Coming up with his own explanation of the same, Shekhar went on to write, "Maybe it’s because I was always shy of the camera .. still am..".
"So here’s my mom happy to be with her favourite brother .. Dev Anand, his wife, Mona Aunty and my elder sister Neelu .. and sulky shy me .. Happy Birthday.. Mama..," the post concluded.
For those who do not know, Sheel Kanta Kapur was a journalist and actress.
