In an interview with Raj Shamani, Shahid Kapoor said, "There are many things that I do not want them to take from me, I want them to be more confident inherently, which I think they both are. I wasn't inherently that confident. 

He added, "Ideally, I wouldn't want them to do my job, picture mein mat aana yaar. Kuch aur karo, Bohot up and down hota hai yaar, bohot rough hai. (Don't get into acting. Do something else. There are many ups and downs, it's very rough) If they want to, it's their choice, but I would be like choose something simple, this is too complex."

Talking about the things he wants his kids to learn from him, Shahid said, "Always do the right thing, I always try and do the right thing, whether I am liking it, whether someone else is not liking it, whether it is damaging to me, doesn't matter, I will do the right thing."
