Actor and former
cricketer Salil Ankola has impressed us over the years, and it seems
like his son, Karan Ankola, is all set to follow in his footsteps. The
senior actor opened up about how his son is getting work ‘through his
effort’ and how he doesn’t need his papa to recommend his name to
anyone.
When
asked as to why he didn't launch his son, Salil says, “Sham (Kaushal)
paaji has been one of the top action directors in Bollywood for more
than three decades. Despite this, his son Vicky Kaushal had to wait for a
while to get his first break and then another 4-to 5 years to get a big
film like Uri: The Surgical Strike. When you achieve success after
struggling for it relentlessly, you feel proud of yourself. That’s the
reason I want my son to go through his journey without my backing.”
While
praising his son for his discipline, focus and dedication, the actor
also got candid about why he didn’t take the initiative to launch his
launch, "I don’t launch my son because I want him to bag a role of his
talent and I am very happy that his efforts are always getting noticed
and appreciated."
Meanwhile,
Karan is getting many offers that came to him, but he wants to do
something interesting. He has to ensure offer the audience something
worthwhile like with wider visibility of work. Along with sweating it at
the gym, Karan Ankola also opts for Martial Arts to maintain his body
and stay fit, testimony of the same could be witnessed on his social
media.
