I had partners who did the numbers on me. I faced bad consequences, but it was great also for me because it made me move back to India.”ALSO READ: Rajat Bedi Reveals Aryan Khan Wanted Him In The Ba***ds Of Bollywood Because Of THIS

He is one of the best directors I have worked with.”Reacting to working in
