So thank you to all of you belonging to Indian film industry for bringing me up so well.”

The Raees star also narrated an incident about how he was influenced by Yash Chopra to do love stories and revealed, “Well I am really am not, I didn’t think I am good-looking enough, I didn’t think I am pretty boy enough to play romance in films and do the stuff but he kept on telling me jab tak tu love story nae karega tera career nahi banega and when Yash Chopra tells you that you say okay there must be some sense to it… I am who I am because of what Yash Chopra made me do and made me into…”
