Upon further probe, the actor explained, “She said I should stop acting because I’m… something to the effect of that I’m embarrassing my father’s name.”
“What’s amazing was, last year, during Bol Bachchan, I went back to the same theatre. I remember after seeing that… Those 10,000 people gathered outside, I got out of my car, I took a photograph and I sent it to my dad. I said, ‘It’s amazing how life comes a full circle’,” he added.
