Even after coming to Mumbai, he did not watch any of his son's films in the theater because he did not like Mumbai. He was a resident of the village countryside, so he did not like the crowd, noise and high-rise buildings here. In an interview, Pankaj revealed that his father wanted him to become a doctor. But Pankaj liked acting and decided to make a career in this field. Through hard work and struggle, he has achieved a big position.
