She replied, “I remember when he was in 7th standard, his marks weren’t good. So, Daddy got very angry. Daddy asked him, ‘If you don’t want to study, then what do you want to do in life?’ He got scared and said, ‘I can’t talk right now.’ So Daddy said, ‘Okay, write and tell me.’ So, he wrote that he wants to become a hero. Daddy said, ‘At this age, you want to become a hero? At least study something. You should know Hindi, English, something to speak.”
