"Bahut ek ajeeb sa connection lagta hain. Aisa lagta hai ki main tha yaha pe pichle janam mein. Ek deja vu jaisi feeling aati hai (It feels like a different connection. It feels as though I was here in my past birth and I feel a sense of deja vu)," he added.
Chambal is known for its rough terrain and Dhulia is known to capture various aspects of it in minute detail.
