Earlier in an interview he spoke about his faith in Islam and said, “It’s not about converting to Islam, it’s about finding the spot and seeing whether it presses the button in you. The spiritual teachers, the Sufi teachers, taught me and my mom things that are very, very special. There are special things in every faith, and this is the one we chose. And we stand by it.”
Prayer has been extremely beneficial. It has saved me from many falls. In between prayers, I think, ‘Oh, I have to pray, so I can’t do this mischief’. People from other faiths do the same thing and are peaceful too. For me, this works”, he added.
This year as well, Cannes will witness the glamour and glitz with Indian celebrities such as Sonam Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Mallika Sherawat, Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan stealing the show at the red carpet.
