He mentioned that working alongside Aamir, both on and off the set, was an enriching experience. "Sharing the screen with Aamir in both Sarfarosh and Talaash has been a remarkable journey. Off the sets, our bond was just as strong, full of mutual respect and an unspoken understanding,” the actor said.

He added, “Aamir's dedication and passion for his craft are truly inspiring, and our discussions often went beyond scripts and scenes, we loved discussing cinema"
