In an interview, he highlighted the importance of talent in the film industry and shared anecdotes from his interactions with the Kapoor clan.
Chopra spoke fondly about his friendship with the late Rishi Kapoor, emphasizing that despite coming from a privileged background, Rishi succeeded in the industry solely based on his acting prowess.

Regarding his work with the youngest Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Chopra praised the actor's dedication and talent.
