Ali continued, “I don’t harbour ill feelings for anyone and I wish the best for my ex. Sab khush raho life mein (Everyone should just be happy).” According to him, the COVID-19 pandemic gave him ample time for introspection. It helped the actor gain perspective by allowing himself to look at the positives. He explained, “During the pandemic, I got a lot of time to introspect. I started looking at the positives, be it from COVID-19 or my failed relationship.”
Aamir concluded the interview by asserting that he is learning to move on and stay happy. For he believes that he can keep his close ones happy if he learns to do it first. “I learnt to move on. If I am happy, I will be able to keep everyone around me happy or my world will collapse,” said Ali.
