2' in March, has quit the show. Kunal was playing Anurag’s (Parth Samthaan) nephew on the show. He says, “The makers had planned a leap and we were chosen to add a fresh angle to the show, but then, the lockdown happened. Now, they are again planning to introduce many changes and twists. While I have no issues creatively, I don’t feel safe shooting under the current circumstances.”

He adds, “I recently underwent a wisdom tooth surgery and was on medication. My immunity has dipped due to this. Also, the monsoon season has started and it’s not feasible for me to commute from my residence in Madh Island to Andheri. My area is a containment zone and I don’t have a driver who will take me to work everyday. I am very new to the industry and I feel that I am not equipped to combat such a crisis while I am shooting. I would like to stay at home till the scare settles.”

Kunal also shares how he landed the role in 'Kasautii'. He said, "I had gone for some work to Delhi, when I got the offer to audition for the show. I returned to Mumbai and auditioned for the role. The next thing I know, I was selected for the role. I am open to all kinds of roles whether it is films or television. The role is important for me."
