Talking about his legendary father Jagdeep Jaaferi, Jaaved Jaaferi asserted, “I learned a lot from him. The people he worked with, the likes of Guru Dutt Sahab, Bimal Roy Sahab, V Shantaram Sahab, Mehboob Sahab, and more, they are like encyclopedias, and my father absorbed a lot from them and passed it on to us.”

“The way they approached their work, life, and their whole approach towards this amazing country and the inclusivity of this country, he grew up with it and passed it on to us. But sadly, I see it is going for a toss today, but we can only hope for better times,” the actor added.

Jaaved said the Sholay actor taught him to “have hope.” He said that his father used to tell him that ‘Khuda ki rehmat se kabhi maayoos nahi hote.’ “He used to call it a crime. He taught us to be grateful for everything. He would teach us to approach work as worship. He would tell us to not be frivolous with work. ‘If you are on a set, do not sit and entertain people,’ he would say.”
