Hollywood superstar Ben Kingsley, famous for his Oscar-winning role as Mahatma Gandhi in 'Gandhi', says his childhood was "applause-less" because he shared a very difficult relationship with his mother.Kingsley, the son of a Gujarati doctor and a mother with Russian Jewish blood, admits it was hard growing up in his family because his mother, who died recently at the age of 96 had a "circuit missing" and found it difficult to connect with her children, Daily Mail reported."To put it in a nutshell, I am an actor, but my childhood was not full of applause. It was applause-less.It was very difficult to read my mother. She had a circuit missing."That made her distant. And somewhat baffled by her four children, two girls and two boys. Thinking perhaps it would all go away soon and life would be simple again.Adulthood? Whoa. She couldn't handle it," said Kingsley.The 66-year-old star admits he felt rejected while growing up but believes it has helped him become the person he is today."Her attitude was difficult to cope with. Fibbing.Showing off. Acting all the time. How profoundly can you misconceive one of your own children? It baffles me."There must be some kind of compensatory factor in me needing to be seen and heard. It's not narcissistic, and it's not neurotic. It's quite genuine. It's a compulsion. But it has turned into something beautiful, because I have been very fortunate."
