Rajiv talks about Sunil

Rajiv said, "Except Sunil Grover Paaji, everybody expressed their happiness and congratulated me. I believe he might be caught (up) and would see the show whenever he gets the time. I was with Kapil paaji when I got to know that the series has been released and I informed him about the same and he wished me luck. He binge-watched the series and loved the same. He texted Anubhav Sinha and then called me to appreciate me."

Rajiv added, "Archana Ma'am's reaction was very heartwarming. She has been very encouraging and always believes that I haven't gotten my due in comedy.

She messaged me after watching the entire series and appreciated me for my work and stated that she was happy that I bagged a project wherein I can get my due as an actor."
