00:00Got cash? Take her.
00:02That sounds so bad!
00:04Guys!
00:05I remember,
00:06Bhai told me once
00:08that Dadaji told him
00:09the day your son starts wearing your shoes
00:11he ceases to be your son and becomes your friend.
00:13But it was also very distressing
00:14because then he was going to be wearing all my shoes
00:16and all my clothes.
00:17And he never remembers any of the boyfriend's names.
00:20God, seriously?
00:21He doesn't. He pretends not to remember.
00:22He calls him on different things.
00:24Why?
00:25What do you call that?
00:26Because I know she's not serious, ya.
00:31About anybody?
00:32I know her too well.
00:33I know her too well.
00:34Did he always protect you?
00:35Because I believe that once
00:36when he threw you up in the air
00:37and you were wearing a lungi,
00:38he actually protected the lungi and not you.
00:40That's right, ya.
00:41There are some incidents, ya.
00:43Is that true?
00:44He threw you up in the air
00:45and the lungi fell off.
00:47But he was more concerned
00:48about the lungi and you fell.
00:49No, but he thought
00:50he could catch the lungi
00:51and catch me at the same time.
00:53Just go for that and then catch me.
00:55What I do catch
00:56is this vibe of this friendship
00:58that you have with your father.
01:00Clearly, there was somewhere
01:02that I read again
01:03where you said that
01:04you are like buddies with your father
01:06and not so with your mom and sister
01:08as much as you are with your father.
01:10Which is an unusual scenario, really
01:12because it's always the mother
01:13who's the friend
01:14or the sister who's the confidant
01:15in an equation.
01:16I'm equally close to my mother
01:18as I am to my father.
01:19But, you know,
01:20I don't think I've ever
01:21been in a relationship
01:22as close to my mother
01:23as I am to my father.
01:24But I think a mother
01:25will remain that.
01:26A mother,
01:27which is a very special place
01:28in anybody's heart.
01:29My sister is my elder sister.
01:31I cannot look upon her
01:32in any other way.
01:33She's always behaved
01:35like an elder sister with me.
01:36She's always, you know,
01:37there to take care of me,
01:38to talk to me, whenever.
01:39My father has essayed
01:41many different roles.
01:42Apart from being a father,
01:43he's also been my best friend.
01:45He's been the one person
01:46who's stood by me
01:47unrelenting and supportive
01:49regardless of what it was.
01:51I remember
01:52Pa had told me once
01:54that Dadaji told him,
01:55the day your son
01:56starts wearing your shoes,
01:57he ceases to be your son
01:59and becomes your friend.
02:00I started wearing his shoes
02:01when I was 11.
02:02And I believe that was
02:03a very emotional point
02:04in your life.
02:05But it was also very distressing
02:06because then he was going
02:07to be wearing all my shoes
02:08and all my clothes.
02:09So he stepped in your shoes
02:11literally and otherwise.
02:12That's sometimes not
02:13very acceptable.
02:14But we'll forgive him for that.
02:15So I was born when I was 23,
02:17at least, or 24.
02:19So I was quite young.
02:20So we've always had
02:21this kind of relationship
02:23where if I tell her,
02:24okay, listen,
02:25don't do that,
02:26you know,
02:27and she looks at me
02:28and says, you know,
02:29really?
02:30You did that.
02:31It becomes slightly difficult
02:32to discipline her sometimes
02:33about certain things.
02:34We've had a slightly
02:35unconventional age gap
02:36in that sense.
02:37And what are your fights like
02:38when you fight,
02:39or your arguments
02:40or disagreements?
02:41I mean, is it like volatile?
02:42Is it lots of streaming,
02:43shouting, or is it like
02:44mature discussions?
02:45Well, when she was smaller,
02:49I think she was more patient
02:51in the sense that
02:52I could take off on her
02:53quite a lot.
02:54And she'd take it.
02:56But I remember
02:57the last argument
02:58or something we had
02:59on the phone,
03:00I think I hung up on her
03:01as usual.
03:03And then she didn't
03:04call me back.
03:05It was very, very rude to me.
03:07Hang on.
03:08I don't think we can talk
03:09about it on national television.
03:11Oh, you can't talk about it?
03:12No.
03:13Then I called her back
03:14about five minutes later.
03:16To Yelmore, by the way.
03:17Not like, okay,
03:18I'll be the bigger person
03:20and I'll call back.
03:21It was like, also!
03:22And then hung up again.
03:23You hung up twice?
03:24Yeah.
03:25And then the third time?
03:26You know, there was no
03:27third time.
03:28Then I called you the next day.
03:29Did you?
03:30Yes.
03:31And I think I'm still
03:32very, very patient.
03:33The first three questions
03:34at Saif Ali Khan,
03:35the father would ask
03:36Sara's boyfriend.
03:37Political views?
03:38Drugs?
03:40What are your views
03:41on infidelity?
03:42Money would be a nice
03:43question to ask.
03:44I would ask that first.
03:45Money?
03:46Yeah.
03:47Oh no, I imagined saying that.
03:48Yeah, I would ask.
03:49Got cash?
03:50How much cash?
03:51Got cash?
03:52Take her.
03:53That sounds so bad!
03:54Guys!
03:55What kind of a father is he?
03:56Is he a father
03:57of the bride kind of father?
03:58Approving of boyfriends
03:59and personal life?
04:00No, he is the coolest
04:01dad ever.
04:02Like, can you chat about him
04:03about like a heartbreak situation?
04:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:06All the time.
04:07All the time.
04:08And he never remembers
04:09any of the boyfriend's names.
04:10God, seriously?
04:11He doesn't.
04:12He pretends not to remember.
04:13He calls him on different things.
04:14Why?
04:15What do you call that?
04:16Because I know
04:17she's not serious, yaar.
04:20About anybody?
04:21Yeah, I know her too well.
04:23I know her too well.
04:24So you know when
04:25she'll be serious?
04:26Yeah, I know when she's serious.
04:27I think honestly,
04:28it's just that he's a
04:29really cool dad.
04:30Like, really cool dad.
04:31Yeah.
04:32I mean, thank God.
04:33That he's not one
04:34quintessential MCP
04:35kind of father.
04:36No, he's not at all.
04:37So, you know when
04:38Sonam looks really sexy
04:39in a shoot,
04:40what is your take?
04:41Like, I want to know
04:42as a conventional,
04:43because you are a
04:44good cop, bad cop.
04:45Obviously, Sunitha says,
04:46what is she wearing?
04:48It's okay, yaar.
04:49I don't know where, yaar.
04:50Let me tell you something
04:51about my father.
04:52He's a very hands-on
04:53father as well.
04:54I remember growing up,
04:55he used to go shoot
04:56out of town,
04:57you know, out of the country.
04:58Not out of the country,
04:59but whenever he used
05:00to shoot in the country,
05:01let's say he used to
05:02shoot in Ooty or something.
05:03He used to come back
05:04every night just to sleep.
05:05Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi.
05:06Yeah.
05:07All these places
05:08I used to come back to
05:09just to cuddle him up.
05:10Oh, really?
05:11All the way back
05:12just to meet you in the night?
05:13He used to take the flight
05:14back early in the morning.
05:15Yeah.
05:16That's amazing.
05:17That's what you call
05:18a fatherhood.
05:19I really lucked out
05:20with my family.
05:21I'm so thankful I have them
05:22as my parents.
05:23Did he always protect you?
05:24Because I believe that
05:25once when he threw you
05:26up in the air
05:27and you were wearing a lungi,
05:28he actually protected
05:29the lungi and not you.
05:30That's right, yeah.
05:31There are some incidents,
05:32yeah.
05:33Is that true?
05:34Yeah.
05:35He threw you up in the air
05:36and the lungi fell off.
05:37Yeah.
05:38But he was more
05:39concerned about the lungi
05:40and you fell.
05:41No, but he thought
05:42for that you need to retire.
05:43Yeah.
