The actor recently spoke with the YouTube channel ‘Digital Commentary’, and said, “There was a time when we used to joke with him that, ‘there are so many kids here, we are scared of you. Please don’t sit like this’. And the whole crew used to whisper, ‘sir is here. don’t move on the set, don’t do this’”.
“I was thinking, this crew, who makes so much noise, Just because he has not got back to the van, everybody treated him like a wounded lion in the jungle. But he was never like that. He is one of those extremely warm people, whose demeanour is like that. In fact, he is sitting there like, ‘come on, someone please talk to me’. Everyone is roaming around in fear. But he is very friendly, very, very friendly”, he added.
