I would love to discuss about such topics.”

Being born in an artistic family: “I have spent my life amongst artists since both my parents were artists. I have spent my childhood in and around Mandi house in Delhi since my mom (Neelima Azeem) is a Kathak dancer and also spent a lot of time in NSD, doing workshops with Naseer saab since my father (Pankaj Kapur) was from there. That’s the way I got exposed to cinema.”

His childhood brush with iconic filmmakers: “I had once asked my dad who was Kurosawa when I saw his poster at my residence and he had explained that he was a great filmmaker. That’s the benefit of belonging to an artistic family.”
