Sharing a monochromatic picture of his mother, Shahid wrote: "She is always the wind beneath our wings. Her gaze is loving and forgiving and always sees us as the best version of ourselves. She has nurtured us with so much love that we are capable of passing it on and spreading it into the world. Being the older one by almost 14 years my bond with mom has been very unique, like a friend. And our journey has been beyond words. There is no one who can be you mom."

Shahid's Mother's Day post was also dedicated to Mother Earth through which he reminded his fans about their responsibilities towards nature amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

He continued, "We haven't been the nicest kids to her. She is damaged and depleted by us. She needs healing. She needs us to heal her. For the future of our kids. Let's leave them a healthy happy home. Not what we have done to it. We are the generation that needs to be the change."

His half-brother Ishan Khatter commented on the picture and dropped a heart emoji, which was liked by more than four lakh fans liked the post within three hours of it being posted.
