my films. So now I do need that time off to soak everything in. Then I will probably do some dirty dancing,” the 33-year-old talented actor said.

Probably others think that I don’t breathe the same air (laughs). I just take that as a compliment, but I have a long way to go, but yes, God has been kind.” IANS
