When the shooting of a film ends, the entire unit is in a lot of grief to split up from each other. I have never felt an outward feeling here. I have been given a lot of love from this industry ".

He added, "This industry is such that you can become a star and a clown overnight. If you are talented, no one can stop your stardom, whether it is from a film family or a non-film family. There is a lot of emotional love in our industry. So please forgive us and leave us. There are no toxic cultures here but we are all one family ".
