The family had palatial houses in Jammu city and in Srinagar.A glimpse of the family's wealth lies in the lavish use of Italian marble in their Jammu house which was built much before Independence.Javed Sheikh was married to Dilshad Begum Sheikh in 1969. She is the youngest sister of Bollywood actor, Feroze Khan. Her other two brothers are, actor/producer, Sanjay Khan and Akbar Khan.Dilshad Begum is a known socialite in Kashmir and Delhi.
