In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Anurag opened about how parents fail to understand their kids’ challenges, and said, “Parents don’t understand their children. All they want is for them to remain in a safe zone. And their definition of safety comes from their conditioning.”
He said that his daughter blatantly confessed in front of him that him and her mother never understood her. Aaliyah said people keep telling her, his father’s stories from his struggling days. She said to Anurag, “I don’t give a sh*t. It’s your guilt that your parents spent beyond their means on your education, but you wanted to become a filmmaker and prove something. You didn’t have borrow money to provide for me. You had the money to pay for my education. My struggle is with myself. It’s so hard just to be me.”
