Narrating the story, he had said, “Working on Rocky was a hard task and especially because my father was the director. We didn’t use to have a lunch break. Once his assistant, Farooq Bhai came and told me that we don’t have a lunch break but I could go and have something. While I was eating the food dad was ready with the shot and asked where I was. Farooq Bhai told him I had gone for lunch and my dad got angry and told him to call me right away. He started shouting at me, asking ‘Who told you to go have lunch, did I say it is a break?’ and all the stuff. He said, ‘Don’t think you are Sunil Dutt’s son'.”

Further adding to the same, the Khalnayak actor had said, "I used to call him 'sir' on the sets, so I told him it was Farooq sir who told me to and then when he asked Farooq Bhai, he denied it. He started saying that kids don't even ask for permission; they just want to get on with their stuff. He started saying that you should have asked Sunil sir before eating, who told you to eat without permission and in my head, I was like you told me to eat."
