When speaking about his son Farhan Akhtar, Javed Akhtar admits that he used to worry a lot about him.
He admitted that because his daughter Zoya Akhtar had always been a resilient child since early childhood, he had been less concerned about her than he had been about Farhan. Javed is now, however, content because his son has completely astonished him as he has grown.
Farhan truly astonished me, I must say. I was so worried about him, you see. Concerning Zoya, I had no worries. Zoya showed strength and intelligence from an early age. She used logic to argue even when she was six or seven years old. Farhan, on the other hand, was incredibly reserved and timid. He was not a rowdy or combative youngster. In truth, Zoya intimidated him.
He said, “I had no idea that even in his early years, he had a different character when he was around his peer group. I learned about other facets of his personality considerably later.
Seeing his two children, who are now such talented directors, producers, and performers, makes Akhtar incredibly happy right now.
With Rock On 2008, Farhan Akhtar made his acting debut. Before it, he made his debut as a filmmaker with the popular movie Dil Chahta Hai 20021. Later, Farhan pulled off some remarkable flicks, including Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, and many others. He is prepared to return to directing with the movie Jee Le Zaraa.
