During a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, the DDLJ actor stated that he feels happy with Sikander, but thinks that it would have been nice to witness a child growing up with whom he could have formed a bond. Kher added that though it is not a tragedy, he thinks it would have been a joyous experience.

He said, “I didn’t feel it that much before, but now sometimes I do feel like it. I think in the last seven-eight years. It's not like, I am not happy with Sikander, but I think it's a joy to see a child growing up. It's a joy to see bonding and this is an honest answer to you. I could have avoided to answer this, but I don’t want to do that. But, it’s okay. It’s not a tragedy in my life. But, I sometimes feel it would have been a nice thing.”
