'She is not in awe of me' Speaking about his bond with Shora, Nawazuddin said, 'I am more attached to my daughter. I yell at her sometimes, but she is very dear to me. She studies in Dubai and she is a moohphat (straightforward). She criticises me. The best part is she is not in awe of me. She doesn't care that her father is a great actor — in two minutes, she can criticise me.' Revealing how Shora often pulls him up, he added, 'Mujhe zameen par laa deti hai (She keeps me grounded). Meri kuch aadatein hain jispe voh mujhe suna deti hai (I have some habits for which she scolds me). She hasn't even watched many of my movies.' Shora's acting aspirations In July this year, Nawazuddin had shared a video of Shora performing a short English scene with another actor. The internet lauded her performance and dialogue delivery, with many noting that she seemed to have inherited her father's craft. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The actor has previously revealed that Shora is keen on becoming an actor and is undergoing training to hone her skills.
