Back then, in an interview with ETimes, Jain had said, “There was no scope for my character to grow in the ongoing storyline. So for the time being, they have kept it open-ended. It can be brought back later but I wouldn’t be able to tell when.”
He was disappointed as his track ended abruptly and said, ''But it is no one’s fault. Sometimes, a track doesn’t yield desired results and a character fails to connect with the audience. It’s just destiny that my character and track didn’t strike a chord with the audience. Hence, the channel and the makers must have decided to put it on hold. It doesn’t make any sense to drag a track that is not working with the audience. The makers of the long-running show have to do justice to the legacy it has created. As an artiste, I can be honest to myself and accept the verdict of the audience and move on.”
