Speaking to an online portal, the actor said “I had been watching the show and I have seen Tapu growing up into a young adult. This character is very strong and positive. I am grateful that Asit Ji has given me this chance."
Buzz has it that Raj will be introduced on Tapu’s birthday on the show. The episode will air next week and in the meanwhile, the makers are planning a few changes on the show.
