He gives a lot of time to each child.”He added that Shirish continues to follow his own passion, revealing that he still writes scripts and has even started learning artificial intelligence.“Of course he writes scripts.

If someone walks into the bedroom at night, I can’t tell if it’s Shirish or my son. If the guy comes and hugs me, I know it’s my son,” she joked.Earlier in the conversation, Farah also talked about becoming a mother later in life. She revealed that she was 42 when she underwent IVF and 43 when she gave birth to her triplets, calling her children a “blessing”.
