office hit. Her own son is currently acting for the first time. The actor went
on to say, "I think that is quite a normal phenomenon, with regard to the
claims of nepotism. As children get older, the environment in which an actor
works has an impact on them. It is typical for kids to try to mimic their
parents' behaviour. Parents bring their children with them to social events and
to the set. They converse with other performers, producers, and directors
there. So it is acceptable to be influenced and to imitate your parents.
