Apart from this, he also said that his father always wanted him to run because he was not as athletic as a child but rather a 'podgy' kid. That is why his father wanted him to coach him in cricket.
He was also quoted saying, "Der aaye durust aaye (It's never too late). I want to do it for myself, yes, but if you really ask me, I want to do it for him. I thought to myself, if Farhan Akhtar could get into the body and mind of an athlete in his late 30s, I can give it a go, too."
