Agar aap naraz na hote mere character dekh kar to mujhe lagta mai sahi tarike se nibha Nahi pa raha hoon.”
(For the past four years, I have come to your home every day through the daily soap, playing a character for whom I have received a lot of love and resentment, but that resentment is also kind of love.

Raksha Bandhan episode se mai show ka hissa Nahi hoon, par itne din beet Gaye the or meri audience mujhse naraz na ho ki ye Bina bataye kaise Chala Gaya toh mujhe laga ye meri zimmedari hai ki mai ye Baat bataun aap sab ko,” he shared.
