Whenever I run :
rclone link Shared_Drive:xxxxxx.xxx
(where "xxxxxx.xxx" is a Google Drive File Shortcut)
The rclone spits out an error, it will be really useful if it can find the path of actual file/folder and provide us with a sharable link of that.

The Actual File Location : /Video/Video.mkv
Shortcut Location : /Video.mkv
All the files are in my 15GB Drive Itself so no chances of any permission error.
You might not have share permissions for the file though - those are separate.
Does rclone link work if you point it at the actual file?
Can you run
rclone link iamAnshMittal:Video.mkv -vv --dump bodies
And post the result please?
Well, Both the Actual File and Shortcut File are in My Drive itself and the remote is authenticated with the same account.

Looking at your dump, rclone is trying to share a link to the shortcut (as requested).
This appears to be the problem - I don't know why.
When I try sharing a link to a shortcut it works fine so this may be something to do with it being a teamdrive or a cross teamdrive shortcut.
Rclone appears to be doing everything correctly so I think this is either a google problem or a problem with your setup.
I tried this on a teamdrive I have access to and I got this error instead
{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"internalError","message":"Internal Error"}],"code":500,"message":"Internal Error"}}
Which might be leaning towards a google problem...
Okay, So for the time being I will stick to the original files.
Or Maybe you could merge this PR, And I can star the files I want to generate the shareable url for.
It is being updated to latest rclone repo and has been working perfectly as expected.
I just merged the PR
