Managing family with fame is not easy. I have been married more than ten years, and my wife often sits in the audience and watches me. People see the red carpet, but they do not see the quiet battle at home. My biggest challenge in this job is when I must leave the house for a long time to shoot a film.

Before I go on set, I cut myself off from normal life. In that period, I am not husband or father. I become the person I am acting. The children do not like it when I travel again and again. I explain that I go so I can bring them toys and better TV. Slowly they understand, but inside, leaving them still hurts me deeply.
