Did you know he postponed his wedding for his debut film Khatta Meetha? Or that his FTII batchmates like Rajkummar Rao and Vijay Varma remain close friends in their Mazboot Actors Association WhatsApp group?  Despite intense roles, he craves romantic characters inspired by legends like Shah Rukh Khan and recently stunned fans with viral Haryanvi dance moves in Jewel Thief’s “Jaadu”! 🕺💃 Explore his thoughts on nepotism (“I am the first Jaideep Ahlawat”), Aamir Khan’s praise post-Paatal Lok, and his preference for privacy over social media.
