Ishaan looks up to Shahid. When Shahid started his career Ishaan was a child.

For me, becoming a father at 50-plus was another challenge, but then, I am neither the first one, nor the last in this category.

You are a star only when the public accepts you, and it doesn't matter where you are coming from, and what kind of a launch you are getting - everyone has to begin somewhere.

It's very important that your kids get to do what they want to, and not what you want them to do.

I wanted to be a doctor at some point, and I was always bringing home strays from school: people who were too poor to pay fees or have food. My parents never rebuked me or told me that they were hard-pressed, too.

I've had an ambition to be somebody since I was 13 years old because I wanted to help my family. I wanted to hurry and grow up so I could make enough money to buy my father a big car and my mother a beautiful home with an electric washing machine and all those things she used to see in the newspapers.

My life is really quite conservative. I've been married nearly 50 years. I don't have hobbies or children. I don't much care to travel. I've never had a big social life. I really just stay home, except when I go to work.

I love being with my family and just being a regular person.
