These years are like being in a massive dream that made all the sleeplessness seem worthwhile! I am grateful for all the brickbats, bouquets, praising souls, the public trolls ... all of it. It's all been a huge part of my learning curve and self growth."

"'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' will release on February 10, 2023. And I will commence the shoot of my action film in April 2023."
