Speaking about television, the actor revealed how actors are often not serious when working on TV and treat it as a different medium. The actor said, “I have seen a lot of actors not being very serious about when they act on Tv, as it is a small platform compared to web series and movies. But the essence of acting is what keeps me driving.” He tells how he can connect to the pain of the journey that the character goes through.

In India, nobody wants to work on Sundays, no matter what you do or where you are, Sunday is a different feeling. Second one would probably be less working hours. Normal shift is for 12 hours, but we end up shooting for 14-15 hours, but if I can, I would probably bring it down to 8 hours.”
The actor added, “While you’re on set, you don’t come to know it has been 12-13 hours because you love what you are doing so much. Some days are so lazy that you just don’t want to get out of bed or do anything.”
When he was asked about what would he like to do on his time off, the actor said, “Since the time I started for Udaariyaan, I haven’t really got an off, but if I do have an off, I would like to sleep the whole day, meditate, so I want to catch more on those things.”
