Anil Kapoor, who has three children, believes that fatherhood is an evolving process. When asked what is the biggest lesson he has taught his three children - actress Sonam Kapoor, producer Rhea Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor - Anil said: “Fatherhood does not stop at teaching one lesson or learning one lesson.”

He also believes that “the entire film industry is like a family to me where I have got support from many and given support to many.”

The actor, who was seen as a grey-haired dad in his latest film Dil Dhadakne Do, made the comments at a recent P&G Shiksha event.

Till date, P&G’s flagship corporate social responsibility programme Shiksha has built and supported more than 450 schools in India.

“India is at a stage where all issues are surfacing in their true form, and it is heading towards solving of the large issues that have been prevalent for a while. The issues can’t be solved by individuals, but by the people of the country and endeavours such as Shiksha. I am willing to lend my support for every cause for the betterment of India,” he said.

Would he like to play a teacher onscreen any time soon or be a part of a film with a strong social message?

“Absolutely... would love to. In fact, it’s a great thought and I will bounce it off my producer-daughter Rhea,” said the Mr. India star, whose constant endeavour is to give his audiences “something new every time”.
