"While most of you have written I should do more films like Airlift... I wish I could but honestly films like these come very rarely, almost once in an actor's lifetime and I am extremely fortunate to be a part of it. Thank you all for everything," he added.
Crediting his entire success to fans, he said:
"What I have understood with these many years in the industry is that an actor is a star because of his (or her) fans and should do anything in power to entertain viewers. All I was ever really good at was stunts as I had to make my mark. That was what I focused on the most."

The actor added that he likes doing films which offer "wholesome entertainment to the entire family".

He also mentioned that he like working with Lara Dutta by saying:
"I love working with Lara. In fact I had requested her to do Singh Is Bliing which she obliged. And her performance is flawless in the movie as usual."
