In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Zeeshan revealed how the consecutive failures affected him deeply, but he now considers them a "blessing in disguise." Recounting a period of 3-4 months when he felt downcast and faced a lack of work opportunities, Zeeshan expressed that this phase was crucial for self-reflection and reevaluating his career aspirations. He questioned whether he wanted to remain a peripheral figure in big films or present himself as a versatile actor.

Notably, Zeeshan confessed to feeling insignificant in those films and, as a result, not being responsible for their failure. This realization led him to pause and choose roles that truly interested him, eventually landing him a part in Article 15. However, during his low phase, Zeeshan admitted to indulging in some "panic shopping" that, amusingly, depleted his savings, including buying a Mercedes.

Reflecting on this impulsive decision, he humorously remarked on the irony of spending his savings after deciding to take a break from signing more films. While his wife, Rasika Agashe, stood by him throughout, she acknowledged that this was a battle Zeeshan had to fight alone, emphasizing the importance of his self-discovery journey and finding his own path.
