He also opened up about the actors he admired over the years, stating that there are many actors he loved.

There are lots of actors. And frankly speaking, I was not in a place to watch a lot of films and plays. I am from Surat, in my time, when I was a child and in school, we never had a television for the longest time. There was one television set in the whole society. That too, when they are watching and the doors are open we went to watch it. But there are a few actors I love watching. Sanjeev Kumar is one of them.
