Phir yeh sapna dekha ki ek baar zaroor videsh ghoomoonga. Aur in sabse bada ek aur sapna tha ki ek din apni mummy ko flight mein videsh ghumaane le jaoonga (Since my childhood, I dreamt that one day I would sit in a flight. Then I dreamt of travelling abroad. And one of these biggest dreams was that one day I will take my mummy to travel abroad in flight).”

The greatest joy than attending Cannes is that I’m attending Cannes with my mom).”
He also thanked his fans and followers for their love and support. He concluded, “Aap sabhi ke pyaar aur support k liye dil se bohut-bohut dhanyawaad (folded hands emoji). Yeh sabh aap logon ke pyaar ke bina kabhi bhi possible nahin ho paata. Dil se aap sabaka shukriya (red heart emoji) (Thank you very much for all your love and support. All this could never be possible without your love. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart). Last picture is my favourite and it says a lot about my bond with mom (woman and boy emoji).”
