Meezaan: My father Jaaved Jaaferi is not the person who would pick up the phone and make calls for me

With three generations of the household concerned in showbiz, it is protected to imagine that Meezaan should have had appreciable information of the manner of the business. The grandson of late actor Jagdeep and son of Javed Jaffery agrees that this is the solely benefit he had coming from a filmi background.

“My grandfather’s time was way before, stuff changed. I am lucky my dad is there to guide me, he is the more recent one in the industry. He always keeps telling me ‘you should this, call this person’. But my father is not a person who would pick up the phone and make calls for me, he has never done that or would do that. Sanjay Leela Bhansali launching me in Malaal (2019), had nothing to do with my father. In fact, he met my father only to tell him he wants to launch me, otherwise there was no connection,” reveals Meezaan.

Currently ready for the remaining shoot of his movie Hungama 2 to wrap up, the 29-year-old provides that his dad barely even asks him about his work, however is fast to identify if he appears to be in a dilemma or drawback.

He tells us, “My dad lets me do my thing. If there is a problem, of course I go to my father and tell him ‘dad this is the issue’. Actually, I don’t even go to him, he comes to me because he somehow knows there is a problem. He sees me looking worried or if something is bothering me. He then tells me you should do this.”

His dad and mom are the solely individuals who he feels give him steering which doesn’t stem from some other motive than for his betterment. “They are people who will always guide me for my own well being. Someone else might have their own selfish (motive), my parents will not. They want the best for me. I follow their guidance,” says Meezaan.
