“During the shoot of my first film, which was Shikhar with Shahid Kapoor, I was given a call time an hour earlier than the shooting schedule, only for the makeup. When I told them that I don’t get my makeup done, the team initially refused saying it’s not allowed and that I have to. But I told them clearly that it’s my choice not to get anything done to my face,” he recalled.
The veteran is of the belief that the ‘shine’ on his face is the symbol of ‘prosperity’ and does not want to conceal it with makeup.
