In conversation with a news agency, IANS, the Kabir Singh actor revealed of relating to the character on the personal level. While the movie captures the journey of a man who quits cricket at the age of 36 and plans to return which causes massive turbulence in his life. Followed by it he mentioned how the movie advocates of feeling satisfied with the work you do. He also revealed of crying for four times after watching Jersey. Playing a character which is poles apart from Kabir Singh, in Jersey he will be seen as an introvert and quiet person.

That's the message of this film. Actually, I cried four times when I saw the film. This character is not like Kabir Singh at all. He is very quiet and introverted in nature.
