Neil Nitin Mukesh shares daughter Nurvi's love for arts and Amitabh Bachchan films
Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh recently spoke about his daughter Nurvi's budding interest in the arts and her growing admiration for cinema, particularly his own films and those of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. In an exclusive conversation with India Today Digitial, the actor opened up about how his six-year-old is gradually discovering her love for both cinema and about his daughter's hobbies, Neil said, "Currently, she's enjoying cycling and skating. She got really inspired after watching my film 'Lafangey Parindey,' so she wanted to learn skating when she saw her father could do it."advertisementWhile Neil remains mindful of what he allows her to watch, Nurvi has already seen a few of his notable films. "She has watched a few of my films. I was quite shocked when she saw 'New York.' She's also seen 'Hisaab Barabar,' 'Lafangey Parindey,' 'Aa Dekhen Zara' - because there's a camera sequence she found interesting, mainly because of the jungles of Masai Mara," he not all of Neil's films make it to her watchlist. "I don't show her all my films. Some are intense. For example, when she saw 'New York,' she felt a bit overwhelmed. She watched a bit of 'Players' and got very upset in the end because my character gets shot."Neil also shared that his daughter has already found her screen idol. "She's a huge Amitabh Bachchan fan—and I'm so glad that her first screen idol is Mr. Bachchan. It's amazing how he continues to inspire generation after generation. She enjoys watching a lot of his films with me. We've seen classics like 'Sholay' and 'Satte Pe Satta' together."advertisement'Among the current generation of actors, she doesn't have a particular favourite; she just enjoys movies in general,' he asked if he sees Nurvi following in his footsteps, Neil said, "Will she follow in my footsteps? I don't know. She's a free bird. But I do see an inclination towards the arts. She sings well, she's learning Kathak and training with a vocal teacher. She's just six but already passionate about music and dance. So I just pray to God that she continues to carry forward the Mukesh family legacy in some way."Neil Nitin Mukesh's latest web series, 'Hai Junoon!', is currently streaming on Watch

Nick Daicos jokes Jeremy Cameron was 'trying to injure' him by bizarrely handing the Magpies star a live rabbit during a TV show - as Geelong and Collingwood gear up for huge clash
Geelong star Jeremy Cameron has pulled the rabbit out of the hat for Geelong on many occasions. But on Monday, during a broadcast of Channel 9's new show 'Players', the Cats goal kicker surprised both Nick Daicos and Nick Watson by bringing a real bunny onto the set of the programme. The three footy stars sat down with broadcaster Felix von Hofe, who quizzed the group on everything from playing fortnight, to Daicos' awkward coin toss moment on ANZAC Day. During the show, the trio were asked to bring in two items of meaning for them, one of which they would take back home with them and another that they would leave in the Channel 9 studio, which would be auctioned off to raise funds for a children's charity. Cameron hilariously began stating that his sentimental item was more meaningful to his daughter. 'Everyone knows that I'm a "hobby farmer", as they like to call it,' the 32-year-old said, who owns a 50-acre farm just south-west of Geelong. Jeremy Cameron (left) surprised Nick Daicos (right) by presenting the Collingwood star with a live rabbit on Channel 9's new show 'Players' 'So I thought: "I can't bring in a cow. I can't bring in a sheep. A chook would have just been all over the place..." 'I don't know if you've ever had one of these but my daughter was just playing with it in the car mate... Nick [Daicos] I'll pass it onto you mate...' Daicos looked shocked and reeled back laughing after being presented with the fluffy bunny. 'Is he trying to injure me for this week?' Daicos joked, noting that Collingwood and Geelong will go head-to-head at the MCG later this Saturday. Cameron, who has booted 665 AFL goals in his distinguished career, jokingly quipped back: 'I'm trying to injure him because we're playing them this week. 'He's very friendly mate, his name's Hoppy, Hoppy is a boy. I don't think we can leave this one on the shelf.' The group then passed the rabbit onto Watson, sat on the other side of the room, and he looked a little tentative when collecting the bunny. 'I'm pretty scared,' he joked. Cameron then revealed that he would generously be donating the Sherrin that he booted his landmark 650th goal with. The Geelong star then opened up on why he likes to compress both ends of the footy before he plays. The 32-year-old, who has booted 665 goals for both GWS and Geelong, is regularly seen trying to squeeze down both ends of the footy during and before matches. 'The balls are so pointy at the start of games,' he said. 'And I just started doing it early on in games and sort of got into my routine and now I do it on every single set shot. 'I try to round off the ends and I think it's easier to kick.' 'They are pointy at the start of games,' Daicos replied before revealing his sentimental item was his school footy jersey before donating a pair of boots to the charity. Watson, meanwhile, was petting the rabbit but hilariously revealed that he was nervous about resting the bunny on his lap. 'You're making good friends with Hoppy Wiz?' Von Hofe asked him. 'Yeah...' Watson replied tentatively. He added: 'Does it s*** and p***?' 'I haven't really done much of this,' he added before revealing his sentimental item was a Mickey Mouse toy, dressed as a wizard, that was given to him by grandma - fitting of his nickname the Wizard.
