The actor further mentioned that although he didn't get through the exams, he still harbours the same amount of admiration for the kind of life that the men in uniform live. "I have always been in awe of that life, and it was my dream to join the army. I even sat for the NDA exam too, of course it didn't work out. Even if I couldn't join the army, I still have the same amount of admiration for the life they lead."
In addition, Aparshakti has also been a cricketer. He captained the Haryana Under-19 cricket team at one point.
