Reflecting on this occurrence, he had earlier shared, "I started to think what if I encounter his ghost and connect to his spirit and all. I don’t know what made me think of it. But it was the following week that I felt it actually happen. I had a tough task ahead of me on that day of shoot and I was praying hard to get it right. There was a black wall on the sets on which some white dust had settled and formed the pattern in the shape of Bajirao’s figure. It had the turban, the eyes, nose, the mooch and the arms. The resemblance was for all to see."


Expressing his disbelief in ghosts previously, the Padmaavat star recounted how the incident left him profoundly shaken. Describing it as a "trippy experience," he revealed that the encounter had deeply unsettled him, marking one of the toughest days during filming. He shared how his intuition alerted him to the presence of the spirit."It was a very trippy experience, and I completely freaked out. I recall it as one of the most difficult days of the shoot. I thought I felt some kind of presence and something told me it’s him," the actor had expressed.
