The elated actor says, "It feels great that people are talking good things about me. Twitter is a fun place if you don't take it seriously, and I kept that in mind. I was myself on the platform. Thanks to my activities on Twitter, people could relate to me. I am always open to constructive criticism and don't give a damn about those who spread negativity.

I even got an e-challan from the Mumbai police [for posting a picture on social media of a selfie with a fan mid-traffic]. We launched the songs and special sneak peeks of 'Judwaa 2' and 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' for my fans on Twitter, and I'm thankful that the films had a massive reach on social media."
