Kashyap shared a picture of his parents from 1970. In the caption, he wrote that his father and mother always gave education a priority. He thanked them for making him what he is today. “My Parents when they got married back in the village in 1970.. My mom is in the ghoonghat .. she finished her graduation after she got married and she did her post graduation while she had me.. I don’t know how they did it back then .. they went from two different villages to BHU to study and sent me to @scindiaschool, which was beyond them. Such was the hunger to get and give education that they borrowed money to send me to best school in India . It’s that which has made me who I am today.. forever grateful,” he wrote.

Anurag Kashyap often shares throwback pictures of his family, including his daughter Aaliyah Kashyap, who turned 21 this month. Aaliyah is a social media influencer with a sizeable following on her lifestyle channel on YouTube. In a recent video, she was asked how much money she spends in a month, among other things. In her reply, Aaliyah said, “Way more than I should is the answer to that question. Mostly on just food and clothes. I online shop once every two weeks and order out at least three or four times a week, which is obviously not good. And I eat out a lot. Food and clothes are what I spend most of my money on and I am trying to cut back. Trying is the word there.”
