Touched by the heartwarming gesture of the couple, the Housefull 4 actor said the experience was an important life lesson for his seven-year-old daughter, Nitara.
"Today’s morning walk turned into a life lesson for the little one. We walked into this kind, old couple’s house for a sip of water and they made us the most delicious gur-roti. Truly, being kind costs nothing but means everything!" the actor wrote online sharing two photos of them along with their hosts.
