This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
I started earning money from films. Initially, I earned a little, and then I started earning a lot. But when my father was ill, I didn't have the money to pay for his treatment, and he died in the hospital,
We used to sit on the stairs or on the footpath outside the hospital. We weren't allowed to stay inside overnight, so we would sit outside and play Antakshari. My friend was there with me. You never knew when someone would come out and tell you that your father was no more,
If I had had the money, I could have got him better medicines and taken him to a better hospital. But I couldn't do that. That hesitation stays with you. Even today, when I remember those days, my eyes fill up with tears,
