In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actor revealed why he openly expresses his opinion on social media despite actors being so image-conscious.

“I don’t think my profession has a role to play in that. This is who I am, my profession does not dictate my personality or social media posts.” 

The actor further added that he does not take his current position in the industry for granted,

“I have always been that way I am today when I sit in a comfortable place of privilege coming from a regular middle-class family living in Versova, somewhere down the boxes, living the dream. I think it is my social responsibility to do whatever I can within my limited capacity towards people who have given me everything I have.”

According to him, everyone should behave that way. “There are nameless faceless people who have secretly prayed for me and shelled money out of their wallet to watch my stuff, I owe it to them. It is my responsibility; it is every citizen’s responsibility. Everything is temporary here.” However, the actor added,

“Unfortunately I will concede that I have started thinking on a similar line (image-conscious) recently. That is the unfortunate state of public discourse these days.”

Speaking about how he is just another regular guy, the 33-year-old said, “There are perceptions around people and it is not that I don’t have that side to me. I have always been a sucker for drama and human inter-personal relationships hence I had taken up the films I had.

“There is also another side to me which is very privy to very few people, I laugh as other people do and I am a regular guy.” 

Well, it’s important to be humble and grounded in life. Kudos to the talented and kind actor.
