Anurag Kashyap says the budget of daughter Aaliyah’s wedding is the same as one of his movies: ‘You’re lucky you don’t have more kids’

As Anurag spoke about the budget of the wedding, Aaliyah said, “It’s okay. I am your only daughter. I feel like you can make an exception. You are lucky you don’t have more children so you don’t have to do this again and again. I am your only child so it’s one and done. So it’s fine.” Anurag said, “I am happy as long as you are happy. And I have to slog.” Aaliyah then added that it was okay as it was a “once in a lifetime thing.”

In the same podcast, Aaliyah also spoke about wanting more siblings as she asked Anurag if he ever wanted to marry again. Anurag, who has been married twice, said that he doesn’t see himself as a relationship person and does not intend to get married for the third time. “Your father is too old to father a child,” he said. Speaking about being a parent to Aaliyah, Anurag said that he feels that he has been a “terrible father” to her but added that he has been more of a friend than a father.

At an earlier event in Kolkata, Anurag spoke about his relationship with his daughter and said that regrets not spending much time with his daughter. “It is very difficult and very easy. I have not spent as much time with my daughter as I should have, because at the time, my entire focus was on cinema. I was very passionate. The more you grow in life, you realise that the most valuable thing is to spend time with family, keep your good friends close, learn to be happy. And I have reached that point in life.”
