During the conversation, the 55-year-old actor was asked what made him decide to take up the role of ‘Shrirenu Tripathi’, a middle-aged professor in Aap Jaisa Koi. In response, the actor said after reading the script, he found the story that synced well with his present age, and was confident to portray the role on-screen. He also shared that the romantic drama was his last chance to romance on-screen. He hinted at quitting roles like ‘Maddy’ in RHTDM. In his words:
“When I started this story, I thought I will be able to pull off a romantic story at the day and the age I was. Because I was looking for an age-appropriate romance. Maybe my last chance to do romance before I have to give it up completely. That’s why.”
