Jeetendra Feels He Was Bad Father When He Sees Ekta Kapoor and Tusshar With Their Children

Veteran actor Jeetendra has opened up on parenting. Seeing his two children, Tusshar Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor, handling the responsibilities of being single parents has made him rethink everything. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, he even said that he feels like a bad father.  Jeetendra opened up, "When my children were young, I was very busy all around shooting in three shifts a day running here and there, travelling because in our time we used to be very insecure, we used to do a lot of movie all at once, so there was hardly any time for the children which I feel very bad about today, that was a way of life and my family understood," Ekta Kapoor Wishes Papa Jeetendra On His 78th Birthday With An Adorable Video!

The Himmatwala actor added, "Now, especially during the lockdown, when I watch them and how they are devoting time to their children, I have realised that they are wonderful parents despite being single parents. I feel I was such a bad father. But I am 79 and learning so much from them." Jeetendra to Make Digital Debut in Daughter Ekta Kapoor's ALTBalaji and ZEE5's Show 'Baarish'.
