Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur recently praised his son Shahid Kapoor, saying he 'made it completely on his own' in the entertainment industry.
Speaking with Times Now, Pankaj said that all his children, including Shahid, audition on their own without revealing their family ties.
Pankaj added that he gave his children the confidence to succeed or fail, saying, 'If you win, you will get the confidence of a winner and if you lose, you would know that you made a mistake.'
Shahid Kapoor, who was last seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's O Romeo, has also spoken about his struggles in the industry, saying he didn't have it easy just because of his father's name.
Pankaj was recently seen in the film Jab Khuli Kitaab, which explores the emotional complexities of a long marriage disrupted by a hidden truth.
