The actor spoke about reading phrases like 'buddha-khoosat' (a person who is old and decrepit) and other harsh terms. But what's the harm in looking for companionship and love? Why can't Vidyarthi and Barua celebrate their relationship and get married despite the age norm?

In response to being trolled for a second marriage "What are these walls we're erecting for everyone?" the actor continued.
