People have been sending me messages saying they loved my work . This is the day I had been waiting for. I’m constantly replying to everyone in my DMs,” he said.
Actor remembered a moment on set when Saif Ali Khan learned his real age. During an interview,Khan complimented Ahlawat's performance,calling him a 16-year-old. Only when director Pulkit corrected him did Khan realize Ahlawat was actually 33. "Saif sir was asked in an interview about his favourite scene from the film. He started praising me and said, ‘Harpal is very good. I treated him like a 16-year-old. But then Pulkit sir told him that I’m actually 33 years old. He was shocked upon hearing,’” Ahlawat recalled. Moment went viral online .
Not just Khan,the whole crew thought Ahlawat was a child actor . Once Pulkit revealed his age,everything changed. “After that,people like Sanjay Mishra sir and the rest started treating me like any other adult actor,” he noted.
