While receiving the award, the actor expressed his gratitude while also talking about the kind of characters he has played throughout his career. The Jawan star expressed his thoughts on playing a negative role again in the future. The actor stressed that if he were to play a negative character, he would make sure that the character “dies a dog's death.” Talking at the event, the Jawan star said, "I am a guy who is hopeful and tells happy stories. The heroes I play do good things, they give hope and happiness. If I play a bad guy, I make sure he suffers a lot, he dies a dog's death, because I believe goodness begets goodness. And I believe badness deserves a kick in the back side.”
He continued, “I should play honest roles that give people courage to dream. I should keep working hard quietly with the hope that life doesn't topple my apple cart anytime soon.”
