In an interview with Barkha Dutt, Javed Akhtar was asked how he would react if he found his children, Zoya Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar smoking marijuana. Javed ji had answered, "I would tell them not to do it, it's not right. But they are grown ups. It's like when I gave up alcohol in 1991, and haven't taken a sip since then. I used to drink everyday. I have come to the conclusion that if you have any kind of intoxication, it can harm you. Tomorrow if I come to know my daughter smokes marijuana, I'll tell her she shouldn't be doing this. If she listens to me that's fine, but if she doesn't, she's a grown up girl. It's the same with my son."
