Talking about Salman Khan, Sheeba said, “During Suryavanshi, Salman was just starting, just like me. He was also shooting for Maine Pyaar Kiya around the same time. Both of us were pretty new. Salman was nice, kind, and hospitable because he was still from a film background, and he knew that I was not, and I was new in the city. He would invite me home to eat, meet the family, hang out there after shoots. He was so protective and loving, an amazing co-star to have.”

While Sheeba was around when Salman Khan was dating actress Sangeeta Bijlani, she saw the superstar in love as well as when the relationship ended. Recalling the time, Sheeba shared, “Salman was like any young boy who was in love. We would be on the set, and his girlfriend would come to watch the shoots, or she would be home when I would go. He was like a normal boy who loves his girlfriend, we all go through these phases.”

Commenting on his break-up with Sangeeta Bijlani, Sheeba added, “I don’t get into people’s personal lives, but I was always there to chat, but that was about it. I think some things are best kept personal.”

The actress also spoke about working with Shah Rukh Khan and lauded the actor for being the gentleman that he is. She said, “With Shah Rukh I ended up doing a lot of shows and world tours, back then he was also not as huge as he is now. Today, all of them are icons; that time we were all co-stars. He was always very kind and well brought up. He always behaved like a gentleman, which he does to date. He is one of the most aware and nicest people that you will meet. If he sees you across the room, he will make the effort to go there and say hello, which he doesn’t need to do, but he is that kind of a person.”

On the work front, Sheeba made a special appearance in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. She was last seen working with Alia Bhatt in Jigra.
