The actor also admitted that he has gotten better at handling criticism, but it still affects him a lot. Then he went on to share valuable advice that the late singer KK shared with him. "KK told me this, agar aap ko mein ek glass du jisme aadha paani hai and you say, ye mein pakad sakta hu. It's like handling criticism and you hold on to it because you're strong, and you keep holding on to it. After some time your hand is gonna hurt, so the idea is to let go. It's what he had told me, and I agree."
