The actor, who made his debut on TV with the second season of

, tells us, “When I was approached for the show, I was told I would be the antagonist. However, I didn’t get much to do. The story turned into a love triangle, in which I wasn’t required to play a crucial role. It wasn’t an impulsive decision. I have informed the production house of my decision that I don’t wish to continue and will be shooting for the show till the first week of January.”

he says that while he was unhappy with his track, there is no bad blood between him and the makers. He adds, “I am glad that producer Subrat Sinha understood me and respected my decision. TV shows are unpredictable. But at this stage, I can’t afford to sit at home. Besides, being a workaholic, I need money to run my kitchen. I am not financially stable yet. I lost my father to COVID-19 last year. I am the sole breadwinner of the family. Now, I want to take up a project for which I am required to shoot for at least 25 days a month.”
