Farhan talks about Honey Irani’s hardships as a single mother
Talking about the hardships he faced while raising Honey and Zoya, Farhan said, “She was a single mother who took care of Zoya and me. She was working. So, I think the least she wanted at that time was for one of her kids to be like this. I was drinking and doing a lot of other things like that. At that moment when I saw how it was affecting her, and when it got to the extreme with her, she would just say, ‘Listen, I have tried my best with you, but, I can’t. Maybe you should stay with your father for some time.’ I felt that as a son, I have let her down. That was the first time I felt that she doesn’t deserve this.
He further added, “It’s not that I was treating her badly, but I was adding to her stress, which she didn’t need at that point. That horrible feeling motivated me to go out and start working out.”
