film 'Where are you going?' In you played the role of a father who keeps taunting his son on every issue. How was your father's behavior during your childhood? My father was away for work. My childhood was spent with my grandparents. Dada used to come in the morning and first switch off the fan and ask to get up in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the shape sheet was removed and timed for another 10 minutes.
Now that you are a father yourself, how do you treat your daughters? Every father in the world wants his house to run according to his wishes. Today, when my daughters wake up late, I tell them it's time to get up. She says today is Saturday. I ask what does this mean? If you make a habit of staying up late on Saturday and Sunday, you won't be able to sleep in again on Monday. You become like this with your children, it's genetic.
What words of your father and grandfather seemed bad when you were a child, but after growing up you realized that what they said was true? Look, if you start believing what they say, you can't do anything in life. I will remain only a father for the rest of my life. Whenever I expressed my desire to be an artist, all I heard was 'Which artist?' No more work left? If I had lived thinking about him, I would not have become an artist today.
How do you raise your daughters? I advise them to be normal. I believe he will live a good life if he stays normal. I understand them that if you go ahead with the dream of winning, try losing once. Because defeat can happen anytime in life. This should not cause any change in life. My daughters are great, but I can't take them away from their mobiles.
Have you named your daughters Lamha and Pal so beautiful and meaningful? I believe that life should be meaningful. The name should be something that people remember.
What do you want your daughters to be? You should never impose your ideas on your children. I also do not impose my thoughts on my daughters. I play classical music to him early in the morning. Whether they hear or not, I hear. If not today, maybe 15 years from now. I want my daughters to be normal people.
What does the movie 'Jai Aap Kahan Jayenge' say? Let the son do what he wants to do, says the film. Care should be taken not to do anything that will embarrass the whole family. He will definitely do something good in life, otherwise he will be like his father.
Are stories being written with you in mind right now? This is a great honor for an actor. When people say that the story of the film is written with me in mind. If you don't make a film, this film won't be made. Earlier we used to say that brother think something for us. Now it feels good when people say that you wrote thoughtfully. It means you are going in the right direction.
