Speaking to Pinkvilla about the same, he said, “But kya hua? Sab ulat gaya na (But what happened? Everything fell flat on its face).” Talking about the advice he gave to Varun to deal with criticism, he said, “Today, everything is work. I told him this will get over. Kuch din baad yehi log bolenge ki ye toh bohot achha hai (After some days, these people themselves will say Varun is very good).”
