The Tezaab actor, Anil Kapoor spoke in an interview about his son, Harshvardhan Kapoor who made his debut in Bollywood with the film, Mirzya. In the interview with a leading daily, Anil Kapoor said-

“I’m protective because I feel Harsh is still naive. Like for example, he’ll say no to very big film-makers. I hope they understand that he really wants to work with them and means well, but he’s not ready to do those films. I wish he’d at least spoken to me before… But it’s fine… That’s his decision,” Anil Kapoor said.

“I want him to loosen up. I want him to meet people and be more social,” Anil said.

“I don’t feel bad. I am so protected because of my father. People respect him so much that all of it comes down to me as well. I am not like one of those people who are like oh my god they are constantly comparing me to him. My father has worked very hard. Every parent works for his child. If I don’t benefit from it, what has my dad worked for.”
