"I'm protective because I feel Harsh is still naive. Like for example, he'll say no to very big filmmakers.

That's his decision," Anil said.

"I want him to loosen up. I want him to meet people and be more social," Anil said.

The "Bewafaa" actor quipped: "By which he means, he can be experimental and I make the money. They're all very selfish. They don't care about me."
