But through all the ups and downs, “Saaransh" remains the most defining and iconic chapter of my life.”
In the end, he posted, “I will forever remain grateful to the Universe, to all the directors, producers, writers, technicians, co-actors, and audiences who believed in me and gave me love through all these years."
