Javed Akhtar shares a great bond with his children Farhan and Zoya Akhtar. On his 78th birthday, we take a look at one of his throwback interviews where the ace screenwriter opened up about being a conventional father to his kids.
"I wasn’t a ‘father’ in the conventional sense of the word. Traditionally, fathers and sons have never had a communicative relationship. But Farhan, Zoya and I have had a very democratic relationship. There’s nothing in the world they can’t discuss with me. My kids can be very argumentative. Democracy has its own problems," he told Filmfare in a 2001 interview.
