Mumbai, Nov 21 || R Madhavan, who is seen as actress Rakul Preet Singh's father in the recently released "De De Pyaar De 2" revealed why he had to redefine parenting rules to have the same amount of impact on his son that his parents had on him.
Sharing why the story of "De De Pyaar De 2" resonates with audiences today, Madhavan said, “At a time when these relationships were not very common, they were actually looked down upon by society, this film would have been a radical story. Right now, the differences don’t make a difference in relationships, but if you’re an old timer, it’s difficult to accept."
Reflecting on his own parenting experience, he added that it was very difficult for him to accept how to behave like a modern father.
"Things that I grew up with, which were totally acceptable, where we love and adore our parents for what they did to make us who we are today, I can’t do that with my son anymore. So, I have to redefine the rules for myself as a father to have the same amount of impact so that he turns out that way."
