Not only that, he has become such a good actor too (When he was entering films, I was not sure how a radio jockey would manage, but he has done really well. Not only that, he has also become such a good actor)," she said.
Not just that, Farah also complimented Aparshakti, saying that she feels, "sometimes your comic timing is better than Ayushmann (Khurrana). Talking about his professional commitments, Aparshakti will soon be seen leading the upcoming laughter ride, Badtameez Gill.
