Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi says his six-year-old son has made him a better person and a responsible father, besides teaching him to "never give up".

"Ayaan has given birth to a new me. He made me a better person and taught me that life will hit you, it will knock you down on the floor but you have to get up, stumble, fall again and then get up but never give up," Hashmi said while addressing a panel discussion on "Parenthood" at Spring Fever 2016.
