I am like a friend to my kids. My wife, Sangeeta, handles their studies, etc.

My fans saw me get engaged, saw me make that woman my wife, me having kids, me divorcing, me talking about divorce before the divorce, me talking about my kids' reaction to that divorce.

This is my life. I don't need a piece of paper to make it a family unit.
