Even the seed of acting was sown in me because of him/her. Papa is fond of films. he/she used to show films every Friday, so my love for films arose from there. Not only this, when I decided to leave CA studies in the final year and become an actor, even then Papa supported me completely. During my struggle period, when I used to get disappointed due to not getting work, even then Papa always encouraged me. To be honest, Papa had more faith in me than I had in myself. At that time people taunted him/her a lot, also made fun of him/her that his/her son has left CA final and has set out to become a hero, so I am most grateful to my father that he/she always held my hand.’

According to Pashmina, ‘I was fond of acting since childhood but I was not sure whether I could become an actor or not, so I applied for studies in London, where I got admission in the field of marketing. But I was very sad about this. My mind was stuck in films, so father (famous musician Rajesh Roshan) said that it is very important for you to be creatively satisfied. Feel happy in whatever work you do, so I cancelled my studies in London and took the path of films. Papa still teaches me to do work happily. If you are happy, it will also show on your face.’
