The actor stepped out for a drive to see the massive film-themed display installed along the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Sharing pictures of the installation on X (formerly Twitter), he thanked Google Gemini for the gesture, writing, \u201cDost ho toh Google Gemini jaisa (A friend should be like Google Gemini).
