He said, "There are a lot of common interests, as he's very interested in sports. He keeps talking to me about sports, and I keep asking him about movies as I want to learn about the business. We don't get so much time, as they are all busy, but whatever time we get, we like to sit together and enjoy, whether it's football or cricket. He is an Arsenal fan, and our daughter Anisha is a Manchester United fan, so there are these common interests."
