Arshad Warsi never failed to shy away from expressing his views on various topics. Recently, he opened up about his thoughts on recommending his children to Bollywood. The actor stated that his son and daughter want to act, but he is not ready to make any call to any directors to cast them in their movie. In the recent interview, Warsi shared that his son is assisting Siddharth Anand and has assisted Raju Hirani. He also believed that acting is not a profession as the success rate is low.

In a recent conversation with Times Of India, Arshad Warsi said, “Yes, both my son and daughter want to act. My son is currently assisting Siddharth Anand and has assisted Raju Hirani. Of course, I’m scared-it is a tough job today. Acting is not an easy profession anymore as the success rate is so low. Out of 150 crore, a handful become actors.”

He added, “Nobody can help anybody here - you have to make your own way. I can’t make a call to a director and ask them to invest hundreds of crores in my kids. Koi mere bete pe satta kyun lagayega (Why would anyone bet on my kid)? Even a casual call to a filmmaker to meet my kids means to expect them to take them in their project, which I will not do. Why would anybody do that? Why would filmmakers bet on my kids if I ask them to do so? Why should I recommend my kids to anyone?” Arshad's son Zeke is 21 and has worked as an assistant director in the last couple of years. His daughter, Zoe, is 18 and still studying.
