In an accompanying video, he said, “Have reached London and from here I got to Belfast for a series for BBC titled Mrs Wilson. It is a good role. Whenever I work for an international series or movie, then from within I feel I am representing India and I have to give my best.

“I have to do good work in India but outside, I want to do better.”
