Naseeruddin Shah recalls considering his father the ‘villain of his life’ | Bollywood

Naseeruddin Shah is not an ideal father

The We Are Yuvaa actor said, “I never wanted to be like my father with my children. I wanted my children to hold me and be free with me. This happened to some extent only because of somewhere, unintentionally, habits that were ingrained in you, not because of genetics but because of memetics. The sound waves and attitude around you tend to reside within you. Reluctantly, I barely spoke to my children. I never beat them, that’s what I learned from my father. I don’t want my children to be afraid of me. I don’t know how successful I am, but ideally, I want that. I haven’t been an ideal father because sometimes my anger got the better of me. He also joked that he was afraid of his youngest son.

He said his father was shocked when the actor showed no interest in studies and even failed in class 9.
