In an interview, talking about working with big names like Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol and having Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra on the sets as assistant directors, he said,
Can’t believe that a decade has gone by… it feels unreal. The film was a life-changing experience for me.Sidharth would help me with my dialogues; we’d do the dry run of the entire scene. He would speak SRK’s or Kajol’s lines and I’d say mine. I recently did an ad with Varun. When I introduced myself, he couldn’t believe I’ve grown up so much.We were shooting in Goregaon and Shah Rukh walked up to me and asked my name. He was like, ‘Don’t be nervous, we’ll do it. Do you want me to get you some fruits and water? You want to practice once’. Kajol would also ask about my school, studies… Karan sir would make sure I was taken care of and praised every time I gave a nice shot.”
