When asked whether he thinks that playing Dadi has limited his opportunities, he told IE, "They (channel producers) have a research parameter. Often I am asked why do I do only women characters on television. I have to let you know that this is not what I am doing by choice and that is why the film Amavas is special because it is to remind people that I am capable of doing everything."

"It is a shout out that ‘Hello, mujhe aata hai (I can do it.) Ab aisa hogaya hai ki mujhe batana padta hai ki main mard hoon. (Now, I need to remind people that I am a man.) I am extremely thankful to Bhushan sir and Sachin sir. I swear, if they would want me to be a ghost in the next installment, I am ready."

"Everyone needs variety. I am not bored, but I am tired. No matter what I do, I am put into the same clothes, similar characters. The research team showed me figures that people want to see me doing female characters only. Now, I really want to know who are these people?"

The actor feels that when a character becomes their identity, it is difficult to break the mould, especially in television. He adds that in television, they can't be creative and if they try to bend rules in television, it is they who suffer. He said, "Also, if I do not want to do such characters and say no, it will go against me in the media. It is a risk."
