Reem Shaikh recalls witnessing violence at home as a kid 

In the same conversation, Reem Shaikh got candid about her childhood and shared that she used to see her reflection in Darsheel Safary's character of a timid and confused boy, 'Ishan' from Taare Zameen Par. She revealed that many people used to think she was arrogant, but in reality, she was unable to face and talk to people after experiencing a troubled childhood. Unlike people's perspective that she would have had it easy, she experienced violence at home, and the constant presence of loud noises and angry people at home created a void for safe space in her life. Sharing how all this impacted her while growing up, Reem said:

"For me to talk to someone has taken so much strength and the fight with myself. My parent's separation made me realise what has actually happened and what the situation was. That day, overnight, I became an adult. I would witness loud noises, angry faces and that aggressive energy. As a child, it was all about energy and I had adapted to a lot of it. I started having anger in me and that whole aggression."
