Legendary actor Jeetendra is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. On this special occasion, he exclusively spoke to us about how life has changed after the birth of his grandchildren, his biggest regret and more. Read on!
Jeetendra, in the prime of his career, spent so much time working in Southern films that his children, Ekta and Tusshar, hardly got to see their father. The regretful dad sighs, “It is true. I don’t remember anything about Ekta and Tusshar’s growing years. I don’t remember playing with them, being with them, attending their school functions. I was away shooting in Hyderabad. Whenever my two children had a holiday, I’d make them fly down to my shooting to be with me. But that’s no way to bring up children.”
Jeetendra grieves missing out on his children’s childhood. “That is the one missing link in my life. I wish I had spent more time with my children. Now when I have so much to spend with my grandson I feel I am getting another chance to relive Ekta and Tusshar’s childhood.”
