He further added, “Many people marry for a variety of reasons. Some people marry to care for their parents, manage the household, or for other reasons. I never felt compelled to marry”.

Earlier, in an interview he had stated, “When I was working at HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) before I started acting in movies, my work pressure was a little too much. I had to roam around on a work basis, and there were many transfers. So, I used to eat in canteens and manage, and there was no time to settle. I used to roam around and never gave a thought to marriage. My opinion on marriage is different. My profession never supported marriage”.
