In a chat with mid-day, he spoke about his plans and
said, “Amit Khanna [producer] advised me to revisit the show, and I'm trying to
put it together. It's a different storyline, with the original cast reprising
their roles. We will have new actors playing our kids. The show will see a
20-year leap. I will be back as Rishabh Malhotra.”
Talking about his famous character and the impact it had,
he said, “The show is now streaming on YouTube, and still has the same effect
on viewers. What Shobhaa De wrote about me — 'the Prince of Housewives' — is
making a comeback.”

Rohit also spoke about Memories and why we waited for 20
years for working with Vikram Bhatt. To that he said, “We knew each other for
long. When I was shooting for Swabhimaan [directed by Mahesh Bhatt], Vikram was
working with Bhatt saab. His father Praveen Bhatt was the DoP of the show.
However, when we tried collaborating, things didn't fall into place. But I am
glad we've teamed up on something as special as Memories.”
He added, “Memories is a supernatural thriller. After
watching the first episode, Ashutosh Rana said, 'It's a long shot to hold
somebody's hand and slide into his memories, but you made it believable.' My
character has a special power, but it is not in the space of a zombie.”
Back to reviving Swabhimaan, it will be interesting to
see the show back on TV. Isn’t it?
