Naresh's father Amit Sharma was a corporate lawyer who worked with Ashutosh Mehra for 20 years until his death due to cancer.

On the other hand, Ashutosh was disappointed with Naresh's decision which he took some 3 years back .  Ashutosh, has a tea and coffee estate, he is rich and lives in a spacious, luxurious bungalow.
