The 'Father' in Sanjivani

Shashank had a son from Smirti who died leading to their separation

Shashank has a daughter of his own called Anjali from Smirti

Shashank adopted Riddhima, daughter of Padma & married Padma as well

Riddhima & Shilpa are sisters so in a way Shashank is like a father figure to Shilpa as well

Now if Sid is son of Padma in a way Shashak will be his father whether they share the same blood or not.... that's immaterial

So The 1st son, Anjali, Riddhima, Shilpa, Sid....

Just calculating....

The first son of Shashank-Smriti was named as Karan who died.

Then Anjali came, Shashank-Smriti's daughter.

Next was Shashank's illegitimate son Karan from Neha ,(Smita Bansal) whom you forgot to mention. Neha was Shashank's friend with whom he shared his pain when Smriti left his home blaming him for their son's death.

Then comes his adopted daughter Riddhima, then Shilpa as u said, maybe Dr Sid too.

Riddhima had a sister named Shilpa as well?

Wasn't her sister named Muskaan? I don't remember exactly

So many wives/ lover and kids😲? Dr Shashank led a colourful life indeed😆

Shilpa is not daughter of Dr shashank shilps was first actress to to play ridhhima. Three actress change to play riddhima. Last was Jennifer

Dr shashank has one biological daughter currently that is Anjali who was borne from his Dr shashank first wife that is smriti

First biological son who also borne from first wife of Dr shashank that is smriti and that son passes away

Then Dr shashank become widower

He married to nurse padma who was first play by shilpa tulaskar and then play by ekta sahni / aarti bahl. . Ekta was former name of aarti bahl

And Dr shashank is foster father of riddhima. And riddhima is biological daughter of nurse padma . Riddhima was borne to first husband of padma . Dr shashank was second husband of nurse padma

Ekta was in awwal number with Aamir khan and also did song pehli baar with salman khan in saajan movie

I intially use to thought that this ekta is jitendra daughter and producing serial but then come to know that she is not same ekta

Dr Shilpa is Dr Riddhima's half sister. They share the same father but Padma is not Shilpa's mother.

Thanks for the info on the no of kids Dr. Shashank had / adopted. 😆
