When asked if he felt like taking a break from the industry after working for many decades. He said, “I think I have written in my autobiography. I didn’t work for around 2-2.5 years, I’m talking about my first breakup. I couldn’t because I have to be honest in front of the camera. So that time, I was too young like my heart is broken and not coming out. I was not even 20-21 years old. But for 2-2.5 years I didn’t come down even from my lift. But then life teaches you a lot of things, then we also understood with our age and maturity.” adding the industry has taught him to be strong over the four decades. “Yeah, but I think that was the longest time where I completely agree that I didn’t work because I was broken,” he continued.
