Reports cited that the Bollywood star is known to be extremely close to his mother as the duo holds a very unique emotional relationship.
Speaking with an Indian leading daily in 2015, the actor said “The bond between a mother and her son is so strong yet so gentle…nothing could come between us, no amount of miles or continents can keep us from letting each other know every day that I would be nothing and no one without her.”
