Jaaved Jaaferi feels the legacy his father, late Bollywood comedian Jagdeep, created in his lifetime helped him and his brother Naved have a better life. It has also helped Jaaved's son Meezaan, who is trying to find a foothold in Bollywood, understand the value of everything.

"After the partition when my father, as a little boy came to India with his mother, they lived on the footpath and slept hungry. He had no choice but to take whatever work came his way -- incidentally it was an acting job, as a child artiste. He was good at it so he kept getting work, and gradually acting became the profession," Jaaved recalls, speaking to IANS.
