I started dating her and she is the most fun person on this planet earth. I really went through one of my best times. I think it is my DNA, it is my wiring, that I would like to blame," he said.

Joking about his break up, he quoted dialogue from the 2006-film Rang De Basanti. "There's a dialogue in Rang De Basanti - azadi meri dulhan hai, vaise hi main bolunga ki cinema meri dulhan hai (Freedom is my wife, similarly cinema is my wife)."
