Quoted by Indian Express, he said, “Vivek sahab, this is a hymn from Rig Veda which I have recently read. One’s heart fills with pride that one is born in the land of such philosophers who many millennium ago could look at the universe like a grand master would look at a chessboard and imagine all the possible moves. I am really moved and overjoyed.” He went on to add that he has a lot of people, who reach out to him personally and send him their well-wishes.
Talking about his last release The Kashmir Files, it had caused an uproar in 2022.
