The Bangistan actor added, “Though kite-flying happens mainly in Gujarat, it has been adapted well in Mumbai, too. My father (former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh) hailed from Latur where they didn’t emphasise so much on flying kites on that day, so I learnt it from my peers in Mumbai.” ALSO READ: Genelia D’Souza And Riteish Deshmukh Wrap Up A Last-Min Shoot Ahead Of Christmas 2020 Celebrations
