Khiladi Kumar never stops! Hosting, shooting back-to-back films. But family time is precious. Maybe he should take a cue from Aamir Khan and plan a proper sabbatical.
As an expat in Mumbai, I see this work culture everywhere. 120 days is actually a lot compared to the average corporate employee pulling 12-hour shifts. His perspective is interesting.
He's one of the hardest working actors, no doubt. But sometimes I feel these statements are for image building. If he truly regrets it, he has the power to change his schedule. Just saying.
Twinkle Khanna seems to manage the home front so well. It's a partnership. Wishing them more quality time together. Family is everything, yaar.
The "hustle bustle" he mentions is a global phenomenon. It's the quality of those 120 days that matters more than the count. Hope he makes them count with Aarav and Nitara.
