Me and me dad didn't have a great relationship when we were younger. We had a good relationship, but it wasn't an affectionate relationship.
All of Bengal knows about my differences with my father. He's based in Mumbai. I never visit him. He never visits me. We are not enemies. But neither are we friends.
I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.
I liked my father a lot, but I didn't see him very often because my mother was bitter about him. He remarried, and I used to have to sneak off to see him.
I wanted to be at my sister's funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic.
My parents were complicated people. They had a complicated relationship. My home was very, very complicated.
I think in terms of the parents that I had, I sort of drew a bad hand, or bad karma; who knows? And I did have a family that was complicated, with some quite eccentric members. So there was a lot of grist there.
My mother married three times. My dad is... I don't really have one. I mean, he does exist, but I have zero relationship with him.
My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.
My family is as complicated as the next family. We have our joys and our tragedies, and we bear both with a black humour that is in our genes.
