Talking about the situation of the industry, Aaryan said, “I would not want to cut down on people’s jobs. There has to be a solution wherein that problem also does not crop up and producers (who are getting affected due to the lockdown), are saved too. There has to be solution and a balance will come out. Whatever it takes for the industry to get together and start working, I think, I am up for it. I would do whatever collectively we decide to do.”

On pay cuts, he said, “If that is something that is going to help the industry, I think we all should do that. We should be up for it. We have taken a huge hit, as a country and as an industry also.”
