00:00After my father passed, I needed some time off.

00:02We went through a tough time with Natasha.

00:05It was one of her initial pregnancies.

00:06We had twins and we lost them at six months.

00:12So that was very, very hard for us.

00:16People felt that somehow, you know, you've given up films

00:18and just gone into some sort of something like that.

00:22No, I...

00:23That perception you're saying was wrong

00:25because you were personally in a happy space.

00:27Not wrong, not wrong.

00:28After my father passed, I needed some time off.

00:33Went through a tough time.

00:35I had a bit of a health scare myself in 2009,

00:40just a few months after my father passed.

00:44And then we were very keen to have a family, Natasha and me.

00:49And we had challenges having children.

00:52So we had to go down the IVF route.

00:55And we had a bad experience with doctors here in Mumbai.

01:00And Natasha really suffered

01:02because, I mean, IVF is not easy, you know?

01:04And it's very, very hard on the body, your health.

01:07Because essentially, it's regulating hormones

01:10and just getting it right, you know?

01:12So in 2011, we made a shift to London.

01:18We found a really, really nice doctor there, Dr. Taranisi.

01:22And he's widely considered to be one of the best in this field.

01:27Mohamed Taranisi, Egyptian doctor, wonderful man.

01:31So, and God bless him, actually.

01:34So we moved to London in 2011.

01:38And, you know, we had our challenges having children.

01:42We kind of, with Natasha as one of her initial pregnancies,

01:47we had twins and we lost them at six months.

01:52So that was very, very hard for us.

01:55It was a tough time.

01:57And, you know, she had to, she did a live birth

02:01and we had to, we lost the babies.

02:03It was very, very tough.

02:04So, and then we eventually had my daughter

02:09and she gave us a lot of joy.
