Speaking to Kapil, the Mirzapur actor said, 'Someone asked me a question a few years ago When you shoot an intimate scene, do they place a glass between the actor and the actress?' Then I told them, That's not true. Then he asked, 'Really? Sachme chuu lete ho? (Do you really touch each other?)' Then I said 'Yes'."
He added, 'They aren't from the industry, so they are unaware of what goes behind the camera. So they ask several questions. They also ask how actors bleed when a bullet is fired in an action scene."

Anupam Kher, Anurag Basu and others praised him for this. Ali Fazal immediately agreed with him, stating that he also married the person he loves and is grateful for it.
