About playing Mr Bajaj's role, Karan had told TOI, "Mr Bajaj is an iconic character and it has lived on in people's minds for years. So, it's a matter of honour to take it ahead from where Ronit Roy and Karan Singh Grover left and add my nuances to it. I intend to make this character as iconic and loved as Mr Bhalla (his character in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein) had become over a period of six years."
The Actor Not Worried About Comparisons
The actor had also told the leading daily that he is not worried about comparisons as it is bound to happen. He said, "I don't fear comparisons, as that's bound to happen. I have my own approach and understanding when I take up a character. Fear creeps in when you expect failures. In my case, I have always followed my instinct and my focus is on how well I can perform my part. As an artiste, I don't really prep for a role. I am spontaneous and that's my forte. I will do the same with my new character."
