Title: It’s difficult working for my children Zoya & Farhan: Javed Akhtar
In the world of cinema, it’s not uncommon for parents to work with their children. In fact, it’s become a norm in many families. However, not everyone finds it easy to collaborate with their kids. Lyricist Javed Akhtar is one such person. In a recent interview, Javed revealed that he finds it “difficult” to work with his children, director Zoya Akhtar and actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar.
Javed, who is a renowned lyricist and poet, has worked with many big names in the industry. However, when it comes to working with his own children, he says it’s a different story altogether. “It’s easier to work for others…working for your own children is very difficult…They don’t think, ‘He’s our father, so we won’t say anything’…In fact, they feel they must say something,” Javed said.
Javed’s children, Zoya and Farhan, have both made a name for themselves in the industry. Zoya has directed films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Gully Boy, while Farhan has acted in films like Dil Dhadakne Do and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Despite their success, Javed says that working with them is still a challenge.
“It’s tough to work with your own children. They’re very demanding, and they’re very honest. They don’t mince words. They’ll tell you exactly what they think, and that can be very difficult to deal with,” Javed said.
Javed also referred to Zoya as a “tough taskmaster.” “Zoya is a tough taskmaster. She knows exactly what she wants, and she’s not afraid to tell you if it’s not what she wants. That can be very difficult to deal with, but at the same time, it’s also very admirable,” he said.
Despite the challenges, Javed says that he loves working with his children. “I love working with my children. They’re very talented, and they’re very dedicated to their work. I’m very proud of them, and I’m grateful to be able to work with them,” he said.
Javed’s comments come as no surprise to those who know him. He’s always been known for his honesty and his willingness to speak his mind. In the past, he’s been vocal about his opinions on various topics, and he’s never been afraid to criticize those who he feels are not doing their job well.
Javed’s relationship with his children is also well-documented. He’s always been very supportive of their careers, and he’s often spoken about how proud he is of them. In fact, he’s said in the past that he’s grateful to be able to work with them, and that it’s a privilege to be able to see them grow and succeed in their careers.
In conclusion, Javed Akhtar’s comments about working with his children are a reminder that even in the most successful families, there can be challenges. However, Javed’s love and pride for his children are evident, and it’s clear that he’s grateful to be able to work with them.
