It is always a proud moment for a father to see his son stepping into his shoes.
The same happened at the music launch event of Harshvardhan Kapoor-starrer ‘Mirzya,’ which left father Anil Kapoor with a bucket-full of emotions.
While speaking about this ‘joyous moment,’ the ‘Jhakkas’ actor stated, “It is a very joyous moment for me. I is a great pride that today my son Harshvardhan Kapoor is here. All I can say is ‘beta ho toh aisa’ but it’s just he does not listen to me at all.”
Kapoor even said that unlike the general perception, he had no role to play in Harshvardhan’s debut in the film industry.
“I know people are very apprehensive about stars’ sons, but I can assure you whatever Harsh has done today, he has done that all on his own. He has got this film on his own,” he said.
Hence the 59-year-old actor asked the audience not to “expect anything like me from him. That is what his strength is.”
Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, ‘Mirzyaa’ introduces Saiyami Kher opposite Harshvardhan.
Penned by Gulzar, the movie, which depicts the tragic love story of Mirza-Sahiban, is slated to release on October 7.
