I think in my entire career I haven't ever been this involved in a film as much as I have been in Satyaprem Ki Katha because I really believe in the subject and I feel proud to be a part of Satyaprem Ki Katha. I think in my filmography maybe this is one film in which I have felt proud in every frame of the film, which I don't know why but on a story level and from the beginning, the first day, when the first narration happened until now when we are on the stage I still have that proud feeling."
