The actor also revealed that he decided to quit the show after struggling with the pressure of living up to the audience’s expectations. Wanting to break away from the romantic and serious image associated with Sujal, Rajeev deliberately avoided such roles. He recalled that after leaving the show, people assumed that he had a fight with Ekta Kapoor. He further added, ‘People wrote, ‘He has become bigger than his work’, but nobody knew the truth’.

Rajeev further said, ‘What came out was that I had a fight with Ekta, that I was leaving it, and that I was thinking I had reached somewhere. I left the show at its peak, refused money and popularity, so many people thought I was arrogant. After leaving Left Right Left, I also knew that I would not get much work on TV. I realised that no producer would give me work. I had a lot of fights with the makers. When you leave a show that is doing well, nobody is happy’.
