Asked what his best memory with his father was, Farhan said: "When you really love and respect a human being then it is very difficult to point out one best memory.

Asked if he felt nostalgic after seeing his pictures with his father from his childhood days, he said: "When I saw these pictures with him (Javed Akhtar), then it took me back to that time and it reminded me of my childhood. There are few pictures where Zoya and I are sitting on his lap, so it brought back memories of that photo shoot in our house. It was a different time. It makes you feel good."
