Shoaib Ibrahim requests fans to pray for his ailing father

Shoaib's father had been unwell earlier in the year and had undergone surgery in February and was under observation for a long time. The actor had shared a post on February 14 with his father from the hospital and captioned it, "Alhamdulillah". Recently, Shoaib held a live stream for his fans on YouTube and recalled his days of struggle in the industry. He had revealed that he went against his father's wishes to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

Shoaib said in Hindi, "Dad told me to complete my studies first, and then we'd see what happens. I didn't know anyone in the film industry, so my struggle began in Bhopal. I used to go for whatever auditions I could find. I knew they were fake auditions, and that they would demand money, but I'd still go just to be able to rehearse delivering dialogues."
