Speaking to The Punch on why he toned down on some of his fashion statements, he said, "The reason why I toned down on some of my fashion statements is because of the young boys coming into the industry. I want them to come and show us what stuff they are made of."

' I am encouraging the young potential stars to come into the industry and showcase their talents. If I am known with a particular character, I would like a young actor to try it out to show the world he can also do it. I would give them some time to show the whole world who they are and later I can continue with the character if needs be. By then, the actor would have been known with that identity. But he cannot be known if I am distracting him with my bold fashion statements,' the popular actor revealed.
