The daughter of Rafisaab remembers him:
Yasmin: Since we were never exposed to the industry, nobody knows the family much today. Shahid was very young when dad left us and when he was around 17-18 years, his friends encouraged him to take up singing and he did one film Socha Na Tha wherein he sang as well as acted. But since dad never approved of it, our mother was not keen that Shahid take up a singing career and she discouraged him. Hence he did not follow a career in films.
