Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently shared a candid and humorous glimpse into his personal life on mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist while speaking about family, ageing, and life lessons. During a conversation, the director was asked how he would feel about becoming a grandfather if his daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap, decides to have children in the future. In response, Anurag revealed that he already considers himself a grandfather in a rather adorable way.
Plans on becoming a grandfather
Explaining the situation, the filmmaker said that his daughter treats her pets like her children, which technically makes him a grandparent. “She has three kids. There is one Cosmo, and there are these two little cats, and she considers herself a mother, so I am already a grandfather,” he said with a smile.
