The actor reflected on the dedication exhibited by the legendary performer in his cinematic endeavours. "I would often see him return home around 2:30 or 3:00 AM, and I never witnessed him resting. Whenever I entered his room, he would be rehearsing his lines while dressed in his costume. He would don the costume shoes and walk about. I would inquire, 'Dadu, why are you walking in those shoes?' He would respond, 'I want to feel at ease in these shoes. They must feel like my own; they cannot appear as if they were provided to me by the costume department,'" Vardhaan disclosed.
The 34-year-old further noted that his grandfather would pack his clothing in a suitcase for scenes to ensure it appeared full when he swung it. He also reminisced about the legendary actor's commitment to voice exercises and yoga.
