“Azad is a mix of the two of us. In terms of his physicality, his eyes and the upper part of the face have gone on me, and the mouth is more like Kiran’s. In terms of his personality and nature also, he’s a combination,” he said at the time.
The PK actor continued, “He’s got some qualities of me, and Kiran ka, he has that infectious joy which she has in her personality, I think he’s taken that from her. I’d like to say he’s taken his thoughtfulness from me! He’s in his thoughts, like I am, most of the time. But he has a very winning smile like Kiran’s.”
