But I I was like, ‘Do not tell my mom and.’ If they will get admitted, whom am I going to look after? My Dad often shaves his hair. So I said, ‘Papa it is lockdown, you want to buzz my hair to, I am losing a lot.
’ Then after 2-3 days he is telling my nurse, ‘Main itna buddha hoon, meri dadhi badh gayi, iske baal kyu nahi badh rahe (I am so old, still my beard grew out, why isn't her hair coming back)?’ So then I also got stunned. I didn't know my Dad was into this. He is a bit nosy.
I said, ‘no, they said at least three times I need to do it.’ So, he did get curious. I did not expect my Dad to be like that.
But he didn't know about it.” A post shared by Mahimachaudhry (@mahimachaudhry1) She further said, “So, when he (Anupam) called me to do a film, we were doing a photosho.
