My upbringing at home has been typically very middle-class. Me having a very big house and everything doesn’t change things. I still live in a joint family; my parents stay with me. The kind of upbringing my kids have got is also similar. They know what’s right and wrong." Even wife and actress Kajol has been known to be a doting daughter-in-law.
