With a heavy voice he continued, “Aisa lahta hai mujhe ki unke shayad naseeb mein yeh cheez hogi hi nahi kyuki sapne hi aise the ki shayad humare ghar pe sofa ho ek din. Ek din humare ghar pe AC hoga, ek din humare ghar mein dining table hoga, AC wale kamre mein ek din sona hai…”

Recalling having to grow up soon owing to his father’s death at a young age, Vishal Jethwa said, “Jab zimmadari aati hai toh automatically bhagwan aapko taakat dete hai ki aap aage badh sake. Jab mujhe pata chala tha – woh second mujhe abhi bhi yaad hai, first time jab bataya gaya mujhe ‘Your father is no more,’ main denial mein chala gaya. Main accept nahi kar pa raha tha. Then slowly, I had to accept it. I think everyone feels like this in such situations.”

He continued, “Mujhe nahi pata chala main zimmedaar beta ban gaya hu abhi. Log mujhe keh rahe the – joh milne aa rahe the, ab tujhe hi sambhalna hai aur mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha kyuki main 13-14 saal ka tha aur mujhe yeh realisation nahi ho raha tha. Then I started working.” Adding that he never realised he was of the age to have fun in life, bunk college and stuff, Vishal said, “Maine apna professional life shuru kiya aur professional life ko hi kuch samey tak apni personal life maanta raha.”
