He told BollywoodLife in an EXCLUSIVE chat, "See, I don't know. She wanted to do something on a project basis and that's how she got on board. Kabir Khan was like she can work on the film.

That's when we will come to know what she wants." Dad and daughter share a fabulous bond. Kapil Dev had thanked daughter Amiya for his Instagram debut.

Talking about Amiya, Chirag told a daily, "We met for the first time while working on the film. She's from Delhi, I'm from Mumbai and she's way younger than me. She's part of our daily training sessions since she is on the direction team. So, she keeps us updated on any meetings we are supposed to attend. Whenever I'm in Kabir's [Khan, the director] office, she's there and is very involved in the process, be it planning the costumes or the schedule."
