Sharing his thoughts on Sudhanshu Pandey as an actor, Sigh added, "I feel there is shouldn't be a discussion about the kind of phenomenal actor he is. He has proved himself over the years with his brilliant performances. It's unfortunate that he is no longer a part of the show, but that's how life is, the show must go on."

He added, "I'm sure he will do a great job in his new venture that he'll take up. I am hopeful to work with him. I'm sure we will keep meeting."

Talking more about the bond he shares with Sudhanshu Pandey, Kunwar Amar said, "We shared a very special bond. At times it was more like a father-son and at other occasions, we were like brothers. He is someone who'll instantly become your friend and have fun with you and when required, he can transform into an elderly and mature individual who will guide you. This is the kind of bond I have with him."
