Talking to Kareena Kapoor on her popular chat show, 'What Women Want', Aditya opened up about how he dealt with failures in the past. Although his films were failing at the box office, he also expressed dissatisfaction with the offers that he received. He said, “There have been vulnerable moments, like films not working or when one hasn’t had work. A few films didn’t do well, and I didn’t like anything (that was being offered), maybe because I was vulnerable at that point in time.”
