Talking about how playing the role of Lord Shani has helped him become a popular name, he shares, “I played Shani for over four years that time, and yes, it has greatly impacted my point of view. I strongly believe that the karma you do, will come back to you. When the show was launched, I did not receive as much publicity as I am receiving now due to the re-run on Dangal. The hard work I put in to play the character of Lord Shani, is finally paying off.”
