Later on I came to know the reason.
The scene I mentioned was between him and his sister whose reel name was Saima.
He asked me if I knew his sister's name is Saima too.
I answered negative as my script was written five years ago and I had no idea about his sister.""He then told me his sister Saima has been suffering from cancer for eight years and he has been trying everything he could to help her in this battle.
So whenever he had scenes (phone conversations) with Saima, he was feeling extremely emotional."He further went on to say, "Two days ago, while we were shooting a scene, he received a call.
We had no idea what was going on.
He completed the scene brilliantly.
After we packed up, I came to know he lost his sister while we were shooting that scene." The note further read, "While coordinating everything back home, he continued his shoot and made sure our New York shoot is completed."TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source.
