He shared his heart out in a interview with a reputed magazine, he said, “Dubeyji introduced me to Italian cinema like Bicycle Thieves (1948) and Cinema Paridoso (1988) as also the American drama The Shawshank Redemption (1994). I became obsessed with these films and realised the magic of cinema.”When his 'dadaji' Amrish Puri left this world in 2005, he was just 15 years old.

Talking about the romantic thriller and his character, the actor said, “Based in North India, 'Paagal' is a love story, which goes terribly wrong. When dad heard the narration he couldn’t help crying". he also stated, “It’s a mixed feeling - more excitement less nervousness. Just like my grandfather, I believe I’m born to entertain. But our personalities are different. Dadu reached great heights. I’ve my own journey. There’s no pressure on me as such. In fact, it’s a privilege to be his grandson. It’s my identity.”
