Recalling his grandfather’s reply, the actor said, “Usmein likha tha ki ‘Beta Bittu, main samajh sakta hoon tumhari situation but yaad rakh tere mata-pita ne bahut kuch kiya hai.” The letter reminded him of the sacrifices his parents had made for his education and dreams. His grandfather’s one line, however, stayed with him forever. “Ruk ja aur ek baat yaad rakh bheega hua aadmi baarish se nahi darta,” Anupam recalled, adding that he will never forget that.
