In an interview with a leading Indian entertainment portal, Boney Kapoor spilt the beans on how Arjun, Anshula, Janhvi, and Khushi pushed him to try his hands at being an actor. Kapoor, who shares a friendly and tight bond with his children, said, "They only pushed me to try acting and said, Papa yeh karna hi hoga. Unn logon ki wajah se hi main ghus pada acting mein and kar lia, (Papa, you will have to do it. Because of them, I entered the field of acting)."
He adds, "I am their father and also their mother. I play all the roles for them. We share jokes and talk about serious things. We can talk about anything under the sun with each other."
Although the 67-year-old budding actor has not watched his debut film yet because of nervousness, he is happy with the response his performance has received. Speaking about the same, Kapoor said, "I, have not watched the film till date because main ghabra raha hoon. Samajh nahi aa raha ki maine kaam theek kia ya nahi. Isliye mene abhi take dekh hi nahi (I am nervous. I am not sure if I have done a decent job in the film. That is why I have not watched the film yet.)"
Adding further how people praised his acting in the film, Kapoor said, "People called me and appreciated my work in film. Some also said, ‘Bohot chota role tha aapka, poori picture mein hona chahiye tha aapko.’ (‘You had a small role, you should have been in the whole movie.’) So, I’ve received very different comments."
