“There was a lot of discipline that we all had to follow. But I always tried to engage my mind with something or the other. I used to interact with the fellow prisoners during recreation activity; I used to conduct an interactive session that we named ‘Rajpal Ki Paathshala’," he said. 

And, it turns out that the prison stint gave him a lot of time to introspect too. He shared, “I gave motivational speeches. Did exercise in the morning. We had access to the library and I used to sit there and read.”

The actor says, "I think I trusted a few people who later misused my trust. But I do not want to comment much on that. I want to move forward as I know life has a lot to offer," adding that he can't wait to return to a film set.
