On being asked if he gets time to socialize, party or meet friends he says, "I have very few people in my life. I work for a daily soap and shoot is grilling. I go to set and by the time I am tired and crash out. I don't even get time to catch up on films these days. I am doing a historical which requires lot of me physically and emotionally. A typical soap actor where there is kitchen politics and drama such stuff is not needed".

Success and fame are not forever but your close friends and family will always be yours. Family is very important. I sometimes do miss Kolkata My home town. My parents keep coming to Mumbai but still I miss them"
