“I have a strong character in Rangrasiya so why will I quit?” – Tarun Khanna

Tarun Khanna who is proud to be a part of the show Rangrasiya wonders why he would want to leave the show. He claims to be taking a break during which he is getting involved in something new which might just be his big ticket to fame.

Talking to us from the sets of Rangrasiya where he is shooting, Tarun Khanna refutes rumors of him leaving the show. Looking dashing as Thakur Tejawat in Rangrasiya, Tarun shines in the character. Telling us more about it he says, “I am proud to be a part of Rangrasiya and thankful to the creative team who gave me this opportunity to play this role. It is by far the best role in my acting career so why would I want to leave it? In fact in the show too I feel that apart from Mohini (Ananya Khare) nobody can stand in front of me so I believe my character has tremendous potential. And most importantly, I respect my producer Saurabh Tewari a lot and would never try to leave him in a lurch. Right now I am on the sets shooting for the show and we all are having a good laugh over it.”

So how did these rumors start? Tarun says that the rumors probably started when it was decided that his character was to take a break from the show. However, he says there are valid reasons for the same, “The show started with a lot of violence and we needed to give a break to the violence and what better way than to develop Paro (Sanaya Irani) and Rudra’s (Ashish Sharma) chemistry. They look good together and there was a demand for their love story so that is the reason the makers decided to focus on them for some time now. Obviously it will also help the TRPs to pick up and I was ready for all this. In fact, it was mutually decided long back and I knew what will happen to my character long back so there is no fact in the story that I am quitting the show.”

Producer Saurabh Tewari too agreed on this when we asked him about Tarun’s exit and said, “Tarun’s character Tejawat will be taking a break for a month or so… He will be shown to be on the run and will reappear in a month.”

And till then what are Tarun’s plans? Giving a tongue cheek reply and flashing those lovely dimples Tarun adds, “Well, I am on to something big and will be busy with the same till Tejawat strikes back in Rangrasiya. I cannot talk much about it now…” Till then Tarun is obviously not affected by all these rumors as he concludes, “I am sure these so called sources will now try to find out what I am up to but I am not bothered… let them continue spreading malicious rumors, it does not affect me!”

All the best Tarun!
