A watchman saw me, took off his blanket and said, 'Please take this, you are our guest.' The hospitality here is truly amazing," he said.

He praised the state government's decisions regarding the preservation of historical buildings.

The actor said he has shot many films at various locations in Rajasthan and will continue to come to the state for future film shoots. (ANI)
