The actor told in a conversation with IANS that he was only one year old during the Kargil war. He said, “When we won the Kargil war on July 26, 1999, I was one year and one day old. So I don't have any specific memories about this war but whenever we were taught about the Kargil war in school, I always wondered what would have happened there. I never thought that I would do 'Operation Safed Sagar' and play the role of a brave officer of the Indian Air Force.”
The actor said that after knowing the story of the series, he realized that he has failed as a citizen. He said, “After knowing the story of Operation Safed Sagar, I felt that I had failed as a civilian. Our heroes and soldiers risked their lives, families, everything for us.”
He said, “Now I feel very humble for two reasons, first that I am a part of a great country like India, second that I am grateful for everything that is around me. I am grateful even for a glass of water because if today we are sitting in AC and talking, then all this is nothing less than someone's blessings, which we take for granted.”
