Naseeruddin Shah criticized Rajesh Khanna's influence on Hindi cinema. He said Khanna brought mediocrity to Bollywood in the 1970s. Shah believed Khanna was a limited actor whose taste negatively impacted film quality. He also noted a decline in script, lyrics, and music during that era. Shah feels current actors are insecure and unwilling to take risks.

Naseeruddin Shah's first marriage at 19 to Parveen Murad, 15 years his senior, faced family opposition and financial strain due to a substantial alimony agreement. It took him over a decade to fulfill these obligations, a period during which he met Ratna Pathak. After a live-in relationship, Naseeruddin and Ratna married in 1982 and have been together ever since.

Madhuri Dixit, despite her experience, admitted to feeling shy during intimate scenes with Naseeruddin Shah in 'Dedh Ishqiya,' attributing it to his intense gaze. She admired his natural acting style, recalling a moment where his performance even made her forget her lines. Dixit also praised the film's script and the enjoyable, though challenging, shooting experience.
