It changed me completely as a person, " the 39-year-old said here while launching the HSBC Make My Trip credit card.
"I think the person I was before I went to Ladakh to shoot, and what I was when I came back - to me are completely two different people, I wasn't the same, " he added.

He may have traveled the world, but the travel enthusiast says there's no place like India, especially when it comes to food.

He is currently gearing up for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" wherein he portrays Indian athlete Milkha Singh. The film goes on floors in March.
