Sharing his delight, he further added, "I remember when I called my daughter Meghna in London after her graduation from King's College, she expressed her desire to stay in the UK only for a job in management. I told her that she is an Indian and she must come back to India, to serve India only. Since I was opening a film and media school in Mumbai, I offered her a job to manage the school to prove herself worthy. She agreed and came back to Mumbai to take my challenge. Today she has built up Whistling Woods as one of the top film schools in the world with 16 years of excellence since 2006. How much can I say about my daughter now - it’s only your guess. I can only smile."
