Sooraj went on to add that he doesn’t ‘agree with the way Aditya Pancholi has handled things in life’. However, he has forgiven his father as he understands that he needs him the most in life.

“My father has a certain image as this bad boy person, who has done many things wrong. I don’t agree with it, of course, he has done things wrong. He is my father, I love him no matter what. I don’t agree with the way he has handled things in his life but in a way I have forgiven him because I know I am his only support in life. I want to make him proud,” Suraj Pancholi said.

Speaking about the controversies surrounding his father, the actor said that he didn’t know what was happening and he only figured the matters after stepping into the industry. “Then I understood ki okay, these are the things that have happened. It, of course, hurt me a lot but like I said I love my father,” he added.

On asked if Aditya Pancholi felt responsible for the way his son’s image was being portrayed, Suraj informed that his father is a ‘very emotional’ person. The actor said, “Dad is very emotional. Sometimes he felt that because of his past mistakes, I went through these things. So maybe sometimes he would shed a tear or two.”
