He asked me to come to the Dabangg 3 set with him and said if you are lucky you might get a chance to take a picture with him. Never had I met celebrities in my life and he is such a big star. I was very nervous. He was very kind to make me feel comfortable. Looking at me, he knew I was a bodybuilder. And we chatted on common subjects. I loved his sense of humour. After two months, I got a call in Bhutan about this movie. That is how I signed for the project and landed in Bollywood'.
