He also talked about how his father had almost asked him to give up on his dream when he did not get an acting job for eight months after talking to Yash Raj. He was in his car with his dad, when he got a call from the Yash Raj Studios, wanting to sign for a contract of three films, and he had started crying out of happiness at that moment.
