— This year's return was a very nostalgic and emotional moment. A few years ago, I came here with my father for the "Tashkent" film festival. At that time, the great Mr. Raj Kapoor, Mr. Shammi Kapoor, Mr. Shashi Kapoor, my father, mother, and sister were with me. This morning, when I spoke with them, I mentioned how people still remember them with such sincerity. I told my father that we need to come to Tashkent at least one more time, as we can feel the genuine love for us and India here, the actor said.

The Bollywood star expressed his desire to act in Uzbek films

— I not only want to share Uzbek films with my people, but I also really want to act in Uzbek films. I would love to have that opportunity, the actor said sincerely.
