I want my son to say no to crackers : Sohail Khan

Mumbai, Oct 26 (IANS) Actor and filmmaker Sohail Khan is against bursting crackers this Diwali and wants his children to say no to fireworks.

"I hopefully want to avoid crackers. I wish I can put some kind of sense into my son and make him realise that crackers are something like burning money," the 41-year-old said here Thursday at Maheep Kapoor's festive collection launch at Satyani Jewels.

Sohail, who has has two children - Nirvaan and Yohan - wants them to understand the real meaning of Diwali.

"So I want him to enjoy the actual festive moment of Diwali where family and friends get together and light some diyas. I would probably give some money to poor kids to help them enjoy Diwali instead of bursting crackers and polluting the city more," Sohail said.
