“The whole thing about, ‘You have to try everything’ has become the new norm. Matlab har woh cheez joh purkho ke zamaane se chali aa rahi hai, humare maa baap ne sikhayi hai, woh saari cheezein galat hain! This is the result of social media,” the 56-year-old said.

Talking about his disappointment with modern-day relationships, he added, “There is a thing that I’ve heard from my kids: ‘We are not going out right now. We are not committed, but we are still hanging out and everything is happening.’ But what is really happening?”
