However, his fans love him, which is all that matters. `The biggest compliment that I have received is for my talent. A fan, on Facebook, told me that my talent is like Paresh Rawal and Anupam Kher. I was overwhelmed but I felt really great,` he says.
Meanwhile, the actor is thrilled being part of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai. Talking about the same, he says, `It is not so that in the show that Tiwari ji is the only hit character, all the characters are a hit. Everyone including Masterji, who plays a small role, is a hit with the audience. This is a nice thing about the show that whoever joins the cast, becomes a hit. A lot of people compare this show with the film Sholay. In that also all the characters were a hit. We are blessed.`
The actor feels lucky that a lot of people got to watch the reruns of the show during the lockdown. `We are getting a great response after the lockdown. Our old episodes were telecast and a lot of new audiences joined us. This worked to our advantage. Ours was the most-watched show. It is different that KBC, IPL and Bigg Boss came, so that has affected us. But we will rise as soon as they finish,` he says.
The actor loves working with Sanjay and Binaiferr and is relieved that they have recovered from a recent bout of Covid-19. `I am happy that Sanjay and Binaiferr are out of Covid-19. They are great and give opportunities to new people. Also, they give you a lot of work. If you are in one of their shows, they will take you in other shows too,` he says.
