00:00Tell me, your dad and mom, do you see, we've heard a lot about both of you talking about
00:05your dad, do you see your mom's films, her old films, both of you?
00:09I've seen like three, four, but I've only seen the ones she's done with dad.
00:13I somehow can't watch her romancing Rajesh Karnar or Vinod Karnar, Dharamji, I get very
00:19awkward.
00:20My God.
00:21But I don't mind dad romancing anyone.
00:22I think I've grown up watching him work.
00:23He's really chauvinistic, right?
00:24Shy.
00:25No comment.
00:26I'm shy.
00:27I'm shy.
00:28I get very shy looking at my mom romancing other men, because mom stopped working.
00:32So I did not know much of her acting.
00:34So watching dad was very, I've been watching him since childhood, but I get a little awkward
00:39when I see my mom.
00:40I don't know about him, I get awkward.
00:41What about you?
00:42In fact, if you had asked me this question five years ago, I would have given the same
00:45answer.
00:46Okay.
00:47But now, there are fans.
00:48But your mom is working.
00:49Yeah.
00:50And you know, the best thing about like in the internet age, where Google can just show
00:53you pictures, old pictures, retro pictures.
00:56I didn't realize how pretty my mom was.
00:58Like she is pretty, but she was dropped at gorgeous back in the day, you know.
01:03No wonder dad fell for her.
01:05So I'm like, you know, dad was not the only one, you know, she had a lot of people.
01:10She keeps telling us.
01:11Now we've become friends.
01:12So you know, I also say, oh, you know, mom, that thing you had.
01:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17Absolutely.
01:18Now though, like, especially for me, it's like, I'm an open book tour.
01:22I've always been.
01:23Okay.
01:24I talk about each and everything, like under the sun.
01:27So mom has now become that person for me.
01:30There's no filter when it comes to her.
01:32So she tells you if you ask her about her past, she tells you, of course, of course,
01:36have you read anything about your mom's past, your dad's past, they're both so very colorful,
01:40let me tell you.
01:41Well, I think you are the right person to ask.
01:44Ma'am, I'm so present in my colorful present.
01:49I'm not getting much time to go in the past.
01:50I think when you are a superstar like Mithun Chakraborty or a heartthrob like him or a
01:55star like Yogita Bali, you're ought to have a life that has color.
01:59And in the media world, everything is written about.
02:02So I think it's very natural if I hear something about it.
02:05But as children, did you react badly to it?
02:09Not really.
02:10Or you didn't read it when you were children?
02:11Well, I don't think we read it because we were living in Ooty, we were in a very different
02:15DA.
02:16But you read things about all actors.
02:20You were able to take it.
02:22So it's not like your mom's past, I don't want to hear, but dad's past is okay?
02:27Not really.
02:28I think we are okay on both.
02:30On screen, mom's romance is a little awkward, but hearing the past is a problem.
02:34Okay, if they had a past, it's all right.
02:37Everybody does.
02:38We grew up in that environment, we grew up in an environment where all of this is just
02:42daily routine.
02:45And I think we empathize with all the other actors and people of the film fraternity.
02:51Because that's something you have to, it's like an undisclosed part parcel of your career.
02:58No, both had a marriage also.
03:00Both had a film marriage behind them, which is powerful, of course.
03:06So you know, that all doesn't matter.
03:08What matters is that how they are to us.
03:11Absolutely.
03:12And as parents, I think it's just been wonderful, isn't it?
03:16Yes, absolutely.
03:17All the four of us have been blessed.
03:19Absolutely.
03:20I mean, I can't imagine Pinky having four kids and being so content about it.
03:27That's mom for you.
03:28Four kids, biologically, and 10 kids, which are animals, a dog, so that's 14 kids.
03:33As of now, she's a mother of 14.
03:36It might grow again.
03:37We never know.
03:38Okay, so her animal kingdom is something different from Vanga's.
03:42Yeah, yeah.
03:43Like Vanga's going to have like three, four versions of that.
03:47We have 14, including us.
03:49Both of them were bullies.
03:52Equal.
03:53Equal.
03:54They keep giving shit to each other all the time.
03:57But he's older.
03:58Didn't he bully you?
03:59He did.
04:00He did.
04:01I did.
04:02He used to bully all of us.
04:03Even in school, he used to bully my friends also.
04:04They all are scared of him.
04:05Look at the contrast of life.
04:06He's now the calmest man I know.
04:09Sometimes I wonder if...
04:10I think people change so much.
04:11Where did he bully you?
04:12I was there only.
04:13I think Barbie tightened him up.
04:14It's been six years.
04:15There's a nine year difference?
04:16Eight year difference?
04:17Eight.
04:18Eight.
04:19Eight, eight.
04:20That's quite a lot.
04:21It's four with Remo, eight with him, and 13 with Dishi.
04:28And Dishi and Remo are in LA, Los Angeles.
04:31So they don't want to come and be bullied.
04:33They're in Hollywood now.
04:34They're completely home.
04:35Okay, they're in Hollywood.
04:36So your dad's okay with that?
04:37Yeah, yeah.
04:38Yeah?
04:39They moved in 2017.
04:40But how did they land there?
04:41I mean, all your life is here.
04:42I think one of the reasons, I'll tell you why I'm so grateful, my sister went to LA,
04:43is I got to meet Al Pacino because of him.
04:44So Dishi is a theater actress in LA, and Pacino came to see the show because she's a Lee Strasberg
04:47student.
04:48And I met Pacino, my acting god, because of her, and I told him I'm so-and-so's sister.
04:49And he was so generous.
04:50He was so nice.
