Tusshar revealed, " He just accompanied me on the outdoor shoot of Golmaal Again. I think he was just one then. He was not really brought to the sets. I was always advised not to bring him on sets because of the harsh lights. It was pleasure to have him though in Hyderabad. The other actors especially Tabu would always come and indulge in play dates with him. But, other than that, I think he is yet to understand what shoots are all about."

"It's okay as long as they (star kids) are made to believe that this is not who they are and that this is the reflected glory of their parents. As long as they are made to realize while growing up that it's doesn't define them and they have to make their own life, then it's fine. If they are made to not take this very seriously, they will grow up as normal human beings."

To this, Tusshar said, "It's not cool to get out of the car and run inside the building fearing the paparazzi outside and avoiding them, so that your child doesn't get exposed to them. He (Laksshya) should be aware of who his family is, what's his father's profession is and what it entails. What should be normal is what is spoken to him at home. The paparazzi can't change a child's mental makeup. Parents do that and it's their upbringing that matters. The paparazzi are just doing their jobs. If Laksshya sees it as that, he will be able to rationalize it as he grows up."

Will Tusshar Be Okay If Lakshhya Decides To Join Showbiz When He Grows Up?

The actor confesses, "Of course, I will be okay with it. But, he has to be clear about that. He can't enter the showbiz because I am a part of it. He has to make his own decisions and be clear about it. He needs to feel that it's his inner voice. Because only then will he able to go through whatever he has to for this profession. You just can't decide one day that you want to be an actor because it's inherited. I want to give Laksshya the education wherein he opens his mind to be able to figure out who he really is."

She always felt that he is the one who brought our family together. He is the center of our family. Ekta is quite taken in with this new member and is definitely very close to him."
