The actor said that he will dress up like Santa Claus on the sets of the show and keep surprise gifts in everyone’s room.

Talking about the same, he said: “I love Santa Claus. He makes people happy by giving surprise gifts. I want to be like him, wearing his outfit and making wishes come true for people. As Atal ji’s birthday coincides with Christmas, I am going to celebrate it in a special way. I will dress up like Santa on the set and keep surprise gifts in everyone’s room.”

He further mentioned: “I've been asking them what they want from Santa this year (laughs). Some people found out about my plans, but I am trying to keep it a surprise. I hope this Secret Santa mission will bring a lot of joy and happiness on the set.”
