May God give place to his father’s soul at his feet. Om Shanti. The actor stated that his father is not aware of his acting career in an interview with Mashable earlier this month. He isn’t overly proud of my accomplishments, he stated. Even my father is unaware of my work in the film industry. He hasn’t yet seen what a movie theatre looks like on the inside. He can view my work if someone displays it to him on their computer or on the newly installed television in my home.
