Words can’t describe the gratitude I am feeling right now. To my guiding force, Shah Rukh Khan Sir and my institute, Rajkumar Hirani Sir, a big thanks to the legends for this opportunity.”
Anil Grover continued, “Privileged to have been amongst such beautiful souls, great performers – Taapsee Pannu for her unwavering support, Vicky Kaushal Bhaji for sharing nuggets of wisdom, Boman Irani Sir for his warmth and kindness, and Vikram Kochhar for always being there. The light of their brilliance shone upon me and helped me immensely to improve my craft. Thank you to Abhijat Sir and Kanika Dhillon ma’am for creating the world that captured the emotions, and situations, and took us all on an epic journey that’s now continuing to receive all the love it deserves.”
He signed off the post with these words, “Mukesh Chhabra Sir, thank you for discovering the Balli in me. Thanks to the audience for showering their love. Go watch it if you haven’t yet in the theatres near you. Dunki, Grateful.”
