- He recounted early struggles in Mumbai, saying he worked as a stylist, on radio and in odd jobs while repeatedly sending unsolicited emails and texts that went unanswered.
- The actor said he intends to step away from acting in roughly 10–12 years to learn tailoring and work hands‑on with fabric and stitching.
- On the show Aakriti and Angad confirmed anecdotes about Aparshakti’s heavy clothing purchases and habit of buying rather than borrowing wardrobes for events, and the episode included emotional memories of his late father and ties to Chandigarh.
- All of the claims are presented as first‑person recollections on the YouTube chat show Double Date and were reported by multiple entertainment outlets without independent industry verification.
