My dad, in fact, called me after watching the whole footage. And he was like, âWere you nervous?'. I said, âHaan. How did you know?' He was like, âYou were rubbing your hands. I know, you rub your hands when you are nervous.'... So, I was really nervous. And especially, when you are standing with people like Ranbir, you are bound to get nervous, right? And I think he was standing in front of me, talking to somebody and you don't even realise in that moment, where you are looking, what you are looking at."
