Recently, Sharad disclosed that during the early stages of his career, he faced expulsion from a television show.
Reflecting on the time when he was ousted from the show, Sharad shared in an interview with , "I went through a phase of struggle that lasted for approximately two to three years. When I secured my first role in 2003, I was filled with immense excitement to collaborate with a prominent production house and work alongside individuals I had admired on television. It was an entirely new experience for me, as I possessed limited knowledge about acting. Looking back, I can candidly admit that I was far from proficient. However, when you are engrossed in acting, you often remain oblivious to your own performance. When my scenes arrived, the director had me attempt the same sequence 30-40 times, yet I struggled to deliver as per expectations."

They decided to replace me on the show, which left me feeling incredibly helpless. It was disheartening to lose the opportunity after working so hard and for so long to secure a good show. In hindsight, I consider that moment as a pivotal turning point in my life. It made me realize that success doesn't come easily; it requires dedicated effort and serious consideration of your goals. This realization served as my motivation to work diligently and persistently."
