We r so self-absorbed & so oblivious to what's around us tht we appear unempathatic. Let me also assure it's not like they r heartless, none are.. just plain stupid (sic).” His reaction comes shortly after photos of Tiger Shroff, Disha Patani, Katrina Kaif, Taapsee Pannu, Tara Sutaria, Mouni Roy, Rakul Preet Singh, Kajal Aggarwal, and many others holidaying it up in the island country went viral on social media.Nikhil who has produced movies like Veere Di Wedding recently made a comeback to acting with Hansal Mehta's web series titled S'cam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story.'
