Shashi prefers to spend most of his leisure time at the Prithvi's cafeteria and humbly interacts with the newcomers and fans.

Recently, during his usual visit, Shashi was sitting at the theater with his care- taker while he was surrounded by a group of girls who wanted to eagerly get a picture with him. The girls greeted him by saying, "Even today you are so good looking and handsome". To which he smiled.

An onlooker also informed, "Though the actor had certain restrictions pertaining to his food habits, he kept insisting for having few bites of chocolates.

Finally, the actor was left happy after his caretaker had to give up in front of his repeated requests".
