In an interview with a local news channel, the Titli actor said that while he does not know how or why it happened, he believes that such incidents affect the credibility of awards and such shows.
“It’s a matter of self-respect,” he shared. Taking a jibe at the ceremony itself, he said, “Award shows will keep happening year after year and no one remembers why or how someone got an award. However, [PISA] lost its credibility. It is more about your conscience.”
