MUMBAI: Veteran star Manoj Pahwa opened up about the candid and often hilarious dynamic he shares with his wife, actor-director-writer Seema Pahwa, saying she has never hesitated to scold him and how he teases her by saying that all her characters look like they are chewing “khaini”.
Speaking about the way he raised his children, Manoj said he was never the parent who pushed for unrealistic academic expectations.
“When my kids were young my strict instructions were 70 percent, 60 percent, 50 percent other people's work. For your sake, because if you're in the class, it'll be very embarrassing for you, not for me. So, manage to get 33 percent pass marks, ” Manoj told IANS.
He added that he didn’t mind if they didn’t grow up to “be anything, ” as long as they enjoyed what they did.
