Shahid Kapoor’s Dad Pankaj Kapur Critiques Gen Z: ‘Internet Can’t Replace Experience’

Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur, known for his diverse roles in Indian cinema, is all set to captivate audiences once again in his upcoming film, Binny and Family. The movie explores the timeless theme of bridging the generational gap to strengthen family bonds. As anticipation builds for the film's release, Pankaj Kapur shared his thoughts on today's generation, highlighting both their strengths and areas for growth.

The Generation Gap: Knowledge vs. Experience

In a recent interview with ANI, Pankaj Kapur discussed the importance of mutual effort in bridging the generational divide within families. He noted that while the younger generation has unprecedented access to information, especially through the internet, they often lack the real-life experience that older generations possess. "Today's youngsters have a lot of answers available on the internet, but the experience of parents, grandparents, and elders can offer valuable insights that can't always be found online," Kapur explained.

Combining Modern Knowledge with Traditional Wisdom

Kapur emphasized the need for both generations to learn from each other, combining modern knowledge with traditional wisdom. He highlighted the importance of fostering trust, closeness, and togetherness within families to strengthen these bonds. "Today's generation is advanced in many ways, but what they often lack is experience," Kapur said, urging both younger and older generations to appreciate and learn from one another.

A Personal Touch in Binny and Family

Pankaj Kapur also praised Sanjay Tripathy, the writer and director of Binny and Family, for his exceptional work on the script. Kapur plays a professor in the film, a role he feels is deeply connected to the film's themes. He noted that professors have a unique ability to connect with younger generations, making it easier to foster a mutual learning experience.

Binny and Family is set to release on September 20, and it promises to offer a heartwarming take on the challenges and joys of intergenerational relationships.
