He went on to continue and recite words from one of the most popular works of his father and renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. “In it, he speaks of how his friends tell him he must write a will stating what he plans to leave for his sons, as nowadays a son often needs to go to court to prove he is his father’s son,” he explained. He went on to quote the powerful lines: “Mere bete, bete hone se mere uttaradhikari nahi honge. Jo mere uttaradhikari honge, woh mere bete honge (Being born as my son, doesn’t make you my heir. The one who is my true heir is my son). Nag, you and your family have proven that you are the true inheritors of this great personality”, he added.
