Tusshar Kapoor: If my son doesn’t like my films, he doesn’t need to watch it

Actor Tusshar Kapoor had made the headlines last year when he had announced that he was opting for surrogacy. Now, his son is over a year-old and Tusshar admits that this is the "happiest thing to have happened to him.” Recently the actor spoke about his son to a leading entertainment media portal.
When asked if as a father his choices have changed, he said, "No, not at all. I don’t think like that at all. I’m not that kind of a dad. If my son doesn’t like my films, he doesn’t need to watch it. He has the right to make his own choices. He also has his grandfather’s movies. Woh sab ki filmein dekh sakta hai and not just mine. So he can watch whatever he likes. I don’t make movies for any personal reasons. I have never steered my career in any way because of that. I have always done films from an audience’s perspective. I don’t have that air ki ‘mera beta yeh nahi dekhega, woh nahi dekhega’."
When asked if he feels more settled now, he said, "I feel very secure and settled, personally. Fatherhood has completed my life. Laksshya is a happy baby and my world seems more proper and more complete now with him. He transfers his happiness to me all the time."
When asked how he created a balance between work and fatherhood, he said, "I was very nervous before I started shooting, thinking kaise hoga. I used to think I’d have to wake up at 5 am, sit with him from 6 am for two hours before I get ready for shoot. So, yes, I used to wake up and sometimes leave without seeing him or just spend half-an-hour with him and leave. That separation time is also very healthy, I am told. Also, shooting for 'Golmaal Again' has been really easy because, luckily, the set in Mumbai was close to home and the outdoor was in Hyderabad and not a foreign country."
He further added, "Laksshya would always come to the sets around 4.30-5 pm. Maybe, Rohit (Shetty) would plan it that way but the moment he used to come, there would be a break on the sets — either the lights needed to be changed or something had to be done. So, I used to be with him and roam around with him in the outdoor area. At 6-6.30 pm, they’d ask me to get ready for the shot in half-an-hour."
When asked why he didn't get Laksshya to do a cameo in 'Golmaal Again', Tusshar said, "No, he’s too young to make a cameo; maybe in the next 'Golmaal' film (laughs). Iss baar kisi ne puchha hi nahi, offer nahi aaya! He was anyway on the sets. If someone had asked me, I’d have given it a thought."
Stay tuned for more updates.
