As someone who comes from an acting background, he was used to expressing emotions through dialogue. Dance, nonetheless, modified that for him.<em> \u201cIt made me communicate without words,\u201d <\/em>he explained, adding that it helped him trust his instincts greater than before.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C_nSf3qNW9Z\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sagar admitted that this shift also modified the way in which he approached his craft. Earlier, he would spend quite a lot of time pondering through every detail, but that slowly modified. <em>\u201cI ended overthinking and began feeling more,\u201d<\/em> he said. In line with him, that has been certainly one of the largest takeaways from the show.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sagar-i-used-to-practice-till-3-am-sometimes\">Sagar: I Used To Practice Till 3 AM Sometimes<\/h3>\n<p>However the journey was removed from easy.

He remembered coping with constant pain, especially through the initial phase<em>. \u201cMy feet were in really bad condition, my knees had given up, and I used to be still rehearsing,\u201d<\/em> he recalled.
