Until then he is busy looking into what the energetic actor describes as "family matters."

A little probing revealed that Anil is actually trying to set his son Harshvardhan's career plans in order. Harsh, the apple of the family's eye, has decided to become cinema savvy.

Anil is spending as much time as he can with Harshvardhan. Says Anil, "Yes, my priorities have changed. Now it's family time, my children and my brother and his family. Earlier I'd sacrifice the time and attention meant for my family for shooting with outside producers. Now my son needs me. My brother needs me. All these years he has been there for me. Now I'm there for him."

Anil feels he has been squandering too much time outside the family fold. "I've lately begun to change that. I recently went to the Olympics with my family. And it was a glorious experience. Sonam was supposed to accompany me to the Olympics. But she couldn't because of her work schedules. She is going through that busy phase that I've now run away from. To Sonam, her work is top priority right now."
