I actually had to shoot for 30 episodes but then carried it on for 820 episodes. I owe a lot to Saath Phere because I am what I am today only because of it. I earned a lot of name, fame and money just because of the serial."
And when asked about his reactions of the show going off-air he said, "As an actor I am feeling very bad but am sure the production house and the channel knows what they are doing.
Over the years I developed good relations with the entire unit. I also formed associations with those who are not seen on the screen like the spot boys, lightmen et al.
I am feeling bad for them as they are entirely dependent on this show. Even though I completed 820 episodes and I am feeling so bad, imagine what these people may be feeling who worked for the entire period of Saath Phere."
