Atul kulkarni penned the script? Wow!!

When your children Junaid and Ira were younger, you were working on multiple films at the same time. Do you feel that you've managed to spend more time with Azad now that you're only doing one film a year?

Actually, I was as busy then as I am now. I think I spent as much time with them as well... there isn't that much of a difference. If I'm shooting now, I won't see Azad for three-four months. Like when I was on an outdoor schedule for Dangal, I didn't see him for months. My problem is I don't even remember when I'm doing a film... I forget that I even have a family, a wife and kids. I get very absorbed in my work.

Don't your kids ever get upset about this?

A little bit. Actually, Kiran said this to me a couple of years back, You don't really care for us'. But it's important to understand that it wasn't a complaint and just an observation. We have a room upstairs, like a study; it's where Kiran and I always sit and talk. She was actually thinking and saying that they don't exist for me, and so I asked her what she meant. And she said that they're not in my periphery because my mind is always somewhere else constantly thinking of work, even when I'm physically there with them. She said she knows that I love them and she's not sure she wants me to change, because if I did, I wouldn't be the person she fell in love with.

What she said was the truth and she wasn't even complaining, but I felt that it wasn't right and that I should spend more time with the kids and with her. It's not that I didn't want to, it just never occurred to me. Since then, I've made it a point to get home at 6pm, and spend the next two hours with Azad and her. And then at 8pm, I start work again. But those two hours we spend together, I give Azad a bath, feed him and then I read to him. I won't say I've managed to do it every single day, but I try and make it happen as much as possible.

These two answers were missing from the post. Isn't it amazing that he gets to do this! Imagine a woman saying this that they forget about their kids and family while working! Glad he is working on it now and spending more time with his family. Now I know why Reena decided to split from him. He is not easy to live with! As much as I love this guy and the way he thinks, the male privilege is showing.

To be honest, Aamir's been called the Tom Hanks of Bollywood by the western media many times! 😆

Perfect fit.
