In an interview, Sachin talked about the reason behind his separation from his wife and said,
We have sought divorce by mutual consent and our daughter Samairra’s custody is going to be with me. I was very clear right from the start that I will be her sole custodian. Our marriage didn’t work from the beginning. Incompatibility drew us apart. We could never be on the same page. Our backgrounds, mindsets, outlook and expectations from life were completely different. We tried our best, but our differences were irrevocable.”

It was a good character, and I enjoyed playing it while my track was on. It was a happy-go-lucky character. The makers gave it importance when I entered the show. My track was really good initially, but gradually it did not shape up the way we thought it would. So I felt it was best to move on.”

I pray to God that Sachin should get the same love from the audience. Look, this is a 15-year journey, naturally there will be ups and downs. After all, the audience is my priority. I don’t want to disappoint them. We have a good writing and directing team, so hopefully people will accept Sachin as Tarak Mehta.
