He talked about this with his Main Hoon Na co-star Amrita Rao on her YouTube channel, Couple of Things – Amrita Rao I RJ Anmol, where he said, “My elder son Zidaan had a very big respiratory problem at the age of 3. We were in London when he had a particularly bad attack. He came to me and said, ‘Papa help me, I can’t breathe.’ My wife is very strong when it comes to dealing with medical emergencies, and she immediately called an ambulance, which arrived in 15 minutes. It was a life-and-death situation.”
