It was exciting for him to play the characters Karan Luthra and Arjun Suryavanshi in Kundali Bhagya, as the plot revolved around him. However, he added, “As soon as I got to know that the centre stage would be given to someone else, I said ‘okay fine, I will peacefully exit and let other people take control of the show now’.”
He added, “Me rahunga show ke last tak basharte aap mujhe meri age ka hi rkhenge. You can’t suddenly show a 30-year-old as an 80-year old man.”
Talking about the show, Kundali Bhagya will now focus on the lives of Preeta’s sons Rajveer Luthra, played by Paras Kalnawat and Shaurya Luthra, played by Baseer Ali. Sana Sayyad will be playing the role of Palki.
