Son of Shashi Kapoor and actor

“When I went up there, I carried 650 kgs of dal. We would take our own food there. Dad took everybody so we had 200 people whom we had taken from here. And all the big part character actors, all flew club class and they stayed the entire duration, even if they had 2 days work, they stayed there for 3 weeks. Then you wonder why the film went over budget.”

“You are because you deny me being a non-vegetarian. On my table, you’ll have vegetarian food and non-vegetarian food. But when I go to a vegetarian house, he won’t give me non-vegetarian food. But in my house, I’ll treat him. I’ll give him veg and non-veg food.”
