The actor remembered how he used to leave work early and head straight home. He explained after work his immediate instinct was to get home and hit the gym. Some individuals choose to remain and drink, which  helped them bond.  However, his top priority has been obvious from the start. Talking about his relationship with Dharmendra, Mukesh added, “How can I call Dharmendra my friend when I have so much respect for him. All these big stars have their own way of living their lives. I could never reach that level.”
