00:00Were you cool, composed when Sonakshi got married?
00:11I thought she made the most radiant bride.
00:17Such a happy bride, I have seen very few.
00:23I was so happy to see her glowing.
00:31She was absolutely glowing.
00:33And I think it was also because you were there to support her.
00:36Of course, why wouldn't I?
00:38It's a simple thing, whose wedding is it?
00:43It's the children's.
00:45Whose life is it?
00:47It's the children's life.
00:49So when it's their life, their marriage,
00:53then who am I to interfere?
00:56This is what you said, what have you learned in life?
01:01This is what you have learned.
01:03This is what you haven't learned.
01:05Oh, we are like this.
01:07Why?
01:08Husband and wife are happy.
01:10So what will the Qazi do?
01:12It's their marriage, it's their life.
01:14And as a father, mother, it's your duty.
01:19Especially as a father,
01:21it's his maturity, seniority, experience.
01:26We will always be together.
01:28And as a father,
01:30we just talked about women,
01:32about daughters,
01:34it's the age of empowerment.
01:36If you take a step at that time,
01:38you are doing a good job.
01:40You are not doing anything illegal.
01:42You are not doing any constitutional work.
01:44You are talking within the constitution.
01:46You are working within the scope of the law.
01:49If it wasn't within the scope of the law,
01:51maybe we would have stopped you.
01:53But this is not...
01:55But I always knew that
01:57this would be your reaction.
02:00Because knowing you,
02:01I knew that the day Sharan Akshay
02:03will come and tell you about your husband,
02:05because we all knew,
02:07the friendship that was going on for 7 years,
02:09we all knew.
02:10I also knew that the day she will come
02:12and talk to you,
02:14you won't object,
02:16you will support her.
02:18I always knew this.
02:19Of course, I will support her.
02:21Always be supportive.
02:22I was meeting everyone in the party,
02:24welcoming everyone.
02:26I was very happy.
02:28And I saw both of them,
02:30Sonakshi and Zaheer,
02:31they looked like a couple made for each other.
02:33They looked great.
02:35They were glowing.
02:36She was looking lovely.
02:37They didn't just look beautiful,
02:39Apolli was looking very beautiful.
02:41And the rest of the atmosphere was amazing.
02:43Arrangements were super.
02:45Very good.
02:47Did you feel a little bad
02:49that your sons did not support her?
02:51We will talk about this topic later.
02:53Okay.
02:55Because it would have been nice
02:57if the whole family was there.
02:59I am not complaining about anyone.
03:01That is also a reaction.
03:03Look,
03:05a person, a child,
03:07they have a passion for something.
03:09It happens.
03:11They may not have the maturity
03:13that you have.
03:15But from us,
03:21I can understand
03:23their pain,
03:25their confusion,
03:27their worries.
03:29Suddenly,
03:31their friends ask.
03:33You are seeing it from their point of view.
03:35If I was in their age,
03:37my attitude would have been different.
03:39Now,
03:41there is understanding,
03:43maturity, seniority.
03:45I have learned so many things in life.
03:47That is why,
03:49we gave them blessings.
03:51Like a pillar,
03:53I stood in front of them.
03:55Yes.
03:57As a father,
03:59you have seen,
04:01you have learned.
04:03So, what is your advice
04:05to your sons?
04:07To love and push.
04:09In their career,
04:11what would you like to say to them?
04:13What advice would you give them?
04:17After a while,
04:21they are very good boys.
04:23On one hand, I feel very proud
04:25that in today's era,
04:27where I was talking about
04:29anti-tobacco,
04:31or any kind of
04:33drug,
04:35or
04:37drugs,
04:39they are miles
04:41away from it.
04:43Both.
04:45Both.
04:47There is no question.
04:49And smoking,
04:51I have never even tried.
04:53Not even beer.
04:55I am not talking about those
04:57who drink beer or champagne.
04:59I am not criticizing them.
05:01It's okay.
05:03It's their own opinion.
05:05But it is bad for their health.
05:07I am not complaining about anyone.
05:09But,
05:11I am very proud of them.
05:13They go to the gym.
05:15They have a gym at home.
05:17They take good care of their health.
05:19They have good values.
05:21They are very talented.
05:23They are very good looking.
05:25They are good.
05:27Their feet are on the ground.
05:29Okay.
05:31You may not have seen them in big parties.
05:33You may not have heard about them.
05:35They don't do anything.
05:37Now, they want to go to any field.
05:39They want to do something.
05:41They want to do business.
05:43They want to do some direction.
05:45They want to start another film.
05:47So, let them do it.
05:49If we need anything,
05:51I am there for them.
05:53I have always believed
05:55in them from the beginning.
05:57I will give you an example.
05:59It's a long story.
06:01They were around 18 years old.
06:03They were sitting
06:05at a friend's house.
06:07I don't remember
06:09if they were 18 or 25.
06:11They were sitting at a friend's house.
06:13So,
06:15I offered them
06:17a beer.
06:19Now, you are young.
06:21So, let's celebrate.
06:23Let's celebrate.
06:25They came inside.
06:27I called them from inside.
06:29I asked them what to do.
06:31They wanted to give me a beer.
06:33I asked them to drink the beer.
06:35I asked them what to do.
06:37I told them that
06:39they did a great job
06:41by asking me.
06:43I told them what to do.
06:45I told them that it's their greatness.
06:47But,
06:49I won't say anything in this matter.
06:51What does your heart say?
06:53If your heart says that you have to do it,
06:55then I can't stop you.
06:57You are 25 years old.
06:59But,
07:01if someone asks me,
07:03I will say that it's anti-tobacco.
07:05If you don't do it,
07:07it will be great.
07:09My heart was saying
07:11that you won't do it.
07:13That's why I called you.
07:15But, you didn't take it.
07:17There are certain things
07:19that make you feel proud.
07:21Yes.
07:23That's a special trait of children.
07:25Now,
07:27who is lucky
07:29to have your children
07:31or someone else's children.
07:33As long as they are sincere,
07:35if there is a problem
07:37in the path of sincerity,
07:39and if we can sort it out,
07:41then why not?
07:43As a father-friend or friend-father.
07:45But, to keep frustration away,
07:47what do you tell them?
07:49How do you
07:51advise them
07:53so that they don't get frustrated?
07:55Follow three C's.
07:57Three C's.
07:59Cool, Calm and Composed.
08:01Okay. Very good.
08:03Follow all three C's.
08:05No problem.
