In the same interview, he also pointed out the personal sacrifices that he has made in his relaltionship with wife in order to excel at his defence career.

“I dont remember taking out my wife. There used to be a park when we were in Agra. People used to go there. I have never gone with her when i was commanding. My allegance was to my unit. I didn’t had time. Even now I don’t have time. Please don’t seek any personal advice from me. I am the most incompetent person to tell you because professional success will come at great personal cost. Work Life balance is the useless thing I have ever heard about.” — Shivender Kanwar in conversation with Ravi Kapoor (Retd. IRS)
