When questioned about his daughter Ava's life recently in an interview with Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa's Bharti TV, the Joram actor said, "Because my daughter is now getting good marks in Hindi and slowly her Hindi is improving. Because she wasn’t speaking Hindi in school, and even if we don’t speak, then there will be a problem. Phir toh woh Tayor Swift hi sunegi."

Manoj previously disclosed to Janice Sequeira that Ava's Hindi teacher was dissatisfied with her performance, believing that given her father's career, Ava should have been better versed in the language. Ava began watching daily soaps on television. 

He said, “Puri angrez hai woh. Usse daant padti rehti hai phir bhi nahi bolti woh (She’s a foreigner. She gets scolded about this, but she doesn’t improve).
