Revealing about his first thought before saying yes to this show, he said, ''I have known Rajan Shahi for more than two decades. There is no question of saying no when Rajan calls me for a role because he will never call me for any random role. I knew that there was something that he had thought of before calling me for this show. He had asked me to do a guest appearance for him in Star Plus' Tere Sheher Mein which I did for him. We had a scene between me and Sachin Tyagi and it had garnered a lot of popularity. Then he had also asked me to play Karan Kundrra's father in Yeh Rishta but I couldn't do it as I was doing another show for Star Bharat.''

When asked his reaction after Rajan Shahi narrated the role, he said, ''When he called me for this, I was ready because I was contemplating doing a TV show as I could not do Vanshaj on Sony SAB as it is being shot in Umbergaon. I did not want to relocate there. But when Rajan called me and explained to me the character, it took us about 20 days until we actually met in the office. I couldn't say no because it was so layered and so mind blowing, I immediately said yes to it.''

Lastly, talking about the preparations that he did for this role, Amit said, ''First of all, at my age I have seen so much of life, I have seen so many people who have such character shades that I am playing in this show. Being a Punjabi helps me because my character comes from a Punjabi family, so it becomes easy. I have been in the corporate background before turning into a full-time actor. I have understood what corporate ruthlessness is. And of course, the way Rajan had explained the layering, I decided to play this character by the day because if I do a lot of homework and come on the set, the performance doesn't look authentic. It needs to look very real. I started playing the character by the day and I'm still exploring a lot of facets of the character. I meet Rajan, the creative team and the the director Romesh Kalra and I explore new things about my role and try to incorporate them.''

Well said, Amit!
