The actor in his social media post, shared series of pictures and captioned, "When one is compelled to leave their homeland regardless of the reason, it is never a solitary departure. Alongside the physical self, one carries the invisible weight of blessings from their elders, woven into the fabric of their culture.
This culture, inherited and sacred, travels with us quietly, steadfastly forming the very essence of our being. And then, in a distant land, when the guardians and torchbearers of that very culture embrace you with love and honor, tears that well up are not of sorrow, but of fulfillment a moment that feels like the universe completing a sacred circle.
Such was the evening of yesterday. Far from my native land, I found profound love for my art so deep, so sincere that I am left humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude. I offer my heartfelt thanks to the Honourable Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Smt. @diyakumariofficial to the Honorable Minister of Culture, @gssjodhpur ji, @rajasthan_tourism and above all, to the @rajasthanpravasi @gyansinghchampawat @priti_charan09 ji whose faith in me brought this moment into being. On behalf of myself, my parents, and my entire family, I extend my heartfelt gratitude."
