When asked on the same,the actor told media here, "What has stayed with me post 'Kaabil' is a very special discovery. Those whom we think are disabled are actually our equals and sometimes more. Their abilities are different. A blind person can't see but his other senses can be sharper than us. Differently abled is not just a polite phrase it is actually the truth. They don't need our sympathy, they need inclusion and sensitivity."

The 'Mohenjo Daro' star also shared how playing a character like this made him realize that there was something special in it.

I realise that there was something special there. I was particularly touched when someone whose name is Rohan Bhatnagar wrote a very sweet and sensitive letter about how post the release of Kaabil people are reacting to him differently."

The 43-year-old-actor feels that his portrayal of Rohan Bhatnagar seems to have a lasting effect on the audiences.

"The character seems to be finding a lot of love. Even though it's in the pure commercial space but there is bit of a point about those who are differently abled."

"Taare Zameen par. Won't talk about my films but in current history of films this was one film that has just stayed with me," he said
