00:00My son studies in London and he does the laundry himself.
00:05Amazing.
00:05He cooks himself
00:07He's an expert at cooking.
00:12He washes clothes and dishes himself.
00:14If I tell you that I don't want to buy him expensive clothes
00:18when he knows his dad will buy him some.
00:20I'm very happy, he told me that he doesn't want to be in movies.
00:24No problem, son. It's up to you.
00:27You've got to make your life better.
00:28Whatever you want to do, I am with you.
00:31I think there are very few people like me who…
00:34When I go to London, I drop my daughter to school in the morning.
00:40Then I drop my son to university.
00:42Then I drop my wife to university.
00:45And I sit at home like an illiterate.
00:48And then I watch cricket.
00:53Brother, Arav and Nitara are growing up with time.
00:58When did you realize that your children have grown up?
01:01Or did they say anything that made you realize that your children have grown up?
01:03Look, my son studies in London.
01:07Yes.
01:09He left at the age of 15.
01:11He used to live in a hostel.
01:12Okay.
01:12He was fond of studying and living alone.
01:15Okay.
01:16Was that your decision?
01:17No, that was his decision.
01:18Okay, that he should live alone.
01:18No, I didn't want him to go.
01:21Okay.
01:21I didn't want him to go.
01:22But he left at the age of 15.
01:24But I couldn't stop him.
01:27Because I left at the age of 14.
01:29I also believe that when a child leaves,
01:32he gains leadership qualities by living alone.
01:34Now he does his own laundry.
01:36That's great.
01:36He cooks his own food.
01:38He is an expert in cooking as well.
01:39He cooks his own food.
01:43He washes his own clothes.
01:43He washes his own utensils.
01:45If I tell you that he doesn't want to buy expensive clothes,
01:49when he knows that his father can buy it for him.
01:52He goes to a shop called Thrifty.
01:54Okay.
01:55Do you know what Thrifty is?
01:56I don't know.
01:57It's a second-hand clothes shop.
01:58Okay.
01:59He goes there and buys second-hand clothes.
02:01Okay.
02:01He says that he doesn't want to waste anything.
02:03Okay.
02:04And he buys that.
02:05He buys that.
02:05Yeah.
02:06You don't buy torn clothes as well?
02:07No, no.
02:08I don't buy torn clothes.
02:11I don't buy torn clothes.
02:13I am not saying that you should buy torn clothes.
02:14No, I am not.
02:15I am not saying that you should buy torn clothes.
02:17No, no.
02:18I am very happy with the way
02:21Tina and I have bottomed up in life.
02:23He is a very simple boy.
02:25Very simple.
02:26My daughter is…
02:28She likes it when I buy good clothes for her.
02:30And brother, the message that I have learned from this is that
02:34no matter which family you are from,
02:36you should make sure that your child's character is strong.
02:39It is in the hands of the parents.
02:41The parents can do it to a certain extent.
02:42Yes.
02:43After that, it is up to them.
02:44And that is our duty.
02:45Yes, that is our duty.
02:46We have to support them for 7-8 years.
02:48That is our duty.
02:49We have never forced them to do something.
02:55If he is interested in fashion, then he should do it.
02:58If he does not want to come in films, then he should not come.
03:00Whatever his soul desires.
03:03I am very happy.
03:04He told me that he does not want to come in films.
03:06No problem, son.
03:07It is your wish.
03:09You have to make your life better.
03:11Whatever you want to do, I am with you.
03:13So, brother, if we talk about sister-in-law,
03:15Rajesh Khanna's daughter, superstar's daughter,
03:18and you are a desi Punjabi boy.
03:19I just want to know in which temple did you light the lamp
03:23that you got married and got such a good partner for your life?
03:28I am very happy that I married one of the biggest superstars,
03:31Mr. Rajesh Khanna's daughter.
03:33But more important than this,
03:35is that she is a lovely wife and a lovely mother.
03:39If you get the right partner,
03:42then half of your life will be spent in peace.
03:45Then you know that your journey ahead will be good.
03:49Because I go to work.
03:51I have to take care of the kids.
03:53And she has taken such good care of my children.
03:56What happened?
03:57Do you feel at peace?
03:57Even today, I am surprised the way my wife thinks about life.
04:04She is 50 years old.
04:06Even today, she goes to study.
04:07She goes to study.
04:08She goes to the university.
04:09She is doing a course there.
04:10So, she has done her master's.
04:13Now, she wants to do her PhD.
04:14I think there are very few people like me who,
04:17when I go to London,
04:19I drop my daughter to school in the morning.
04:24Then I drop my son to the university.
04:26Wow!
04:26Then I drop my wife to the university.
04:28And I sit at home like an illiterate person.
04:31And then I watch cricket.
