In a recent post on Instagram, she shared videos of the broken leg incident, saying, "He broke his leg from the first ACTION on day one of the shoot and I felt he was going to delay production or restrict his acting, I was so worried and couldn't look at his eyes because the pain was too obvious".

He also spoke about how he receives constructive criticism from his wife saying, "My wife is my number one fan and critic. She pushes me really hard and encourages me to work hard. I think I owe a lot to her and I am grateful to her love and support".
