Father: Go on, son.
Son: But the woman gave the police a valid reason for running away, dad.

Father: I don’t know, son!

Father: I don’t know, son!
For Family’s Sake!
Son: Sachin has also said that he took a break by skipping the Sri Lanka tour to spend some time with his family, dad.

Father: I don’t know, son!
