The Housefull actor said that “Whenever I step out of the house, my attention automatically gets drawn towards the people on the street who can be seen sitting the entire day on the roadside waiting for things to get sell so that they can earn a living. There are people sitting with a bunch of banana’s thinking that they might at least sell one by the end of the day, on the other hand, I see a girl at the signal selling flower garlands just for a living.”
