In a recent interview with ANI, Tusshar, son of Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor, opened up about how the 'Himmatwala' is reliving his fatherhood phase with his grandsons.

"Dad (Jeetendra) shares a close relationship with both his grandsons. Despite old age, he gives his proper time to them. He often pays a visit to my son's school.
