“In the initial stage of my life, I had lost my father. I had no direction, about what I needed to do. I hardly had any work. I had not even done Left Right Left when I met Neha. I was playing a character role back then. She had once paid my mobile bill from her account. That was the situation I was in. So she has been my Shakti. My mother’s name is Shakti. When I lost my dad, my mother was my Shakti. And then Neha came in.”
