During their heartfelt conversation, Neeraj asked Amitabh a poignant question, how the actor and his wife, Jaya Bachchan, managed responsibilities when they became parents to Abhishek and Shweta.

However the actor soon unveiled a more personal side, admitting, "Jaya has managed everything... I wanted to spend as much time with Abhishek and Shweta, but I couldn't.
