Tusshar Kapoor Interview: Due to shooting, he/she could not see his/her son’s face for many days, but he/she is intelligent.

Talking about your series ’10th June Night Season 2′, you had to do a lot of night shooting for it. During that time, being a single parent, how did you manage your work along with taking care of your son Lakshya?
-Its shooting started in January and shooting continued for two months. There was a gap in March and then shooting in May and June. During that time, the shooting schedule was so hectic that sometimes I could not even see his/her face. Many times it happened that I could not even meet him/her for three-four days. Many times I would just look at your face while coming and going. But now that he/she is eight years old, he/she has become quite intelligent and self-reliant. he/she thought that I was at work and he/she was also busy in his/her school and school activities. I have my parents and a sister to take care of him/her. Nowadays children have a lot of activities in school. Lakshya also plays football. Since I was on a night shoot, I would somehow manage to attend her open house or parent-teacher meeting or any other school work in the afternoon. This is how I have managed my work and her. On days when I was off, we, father and son, would spend a lot of time together and pull out all the stops.

As a single parent, when did you feel most proud of your son?
-I feel proud of him/her every day, because he/she is a very balanced boy. She is very intelligent, but being a father, I am very cautious about her upbringing. I can’t think that because I am a father, I am doing everything right. Like sometimes I feel that I should not talk loudly in front of him/her or encourage him/her more in some area.

he/she is a very balanced guy. She is very intelligent, but being a father, I am very cautious about her upbringing.

The name of your character in the series is Panauti. When did you experience a turning point in your career?
-Many times there comes a phase in your career when you feel that things are not going right. When times are bad in my career, I feel that whatever I am doing, my hard work is not paying off and it will probably be a waste. Like my film ‘Lakshmi’, it took 7 years to make. That was my first film as a producer. I had bought the rights of the film (Kanchana) in 2013, but there were hurdles in its casting, there were many other hurdles and then I thought whether this is Shani or Panauti? But I would like to say one thing that no matter how bad the times are, you should not give up. One should not accept it as a solution and give up courage and keep working hard. You can also change your destiny with your hard work.

You said that luck can be changed through hard work, but your faith in numerology is also visible. You have used double S in the spelling of you and your son Lakshya? -To be honest, I don’t have much idea about these things, but my family believes in numerology and they introduced me to a numerologist. he/she said that if I add double S in my name, it will be good for me. It is not that I believe or not, I have obeyed my family and nowadays everyone does. Someone consults numerology. Actors have changed their names. My sister (Ekta Kapoor) has also got numerology done. I don’t know that much about it, but I think there must be something in it that people believe in it so much.
