Nakuul Mehta on quitting Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2: ‘There’s nothing new I can bring to it’

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Nakuul said, “The show got a lot of love though many people had doubts when we started as because we took on an iconic show (and remade it). But for it to have the journey and reach out to people the way it has, I think has been truly special. I feel creatively full, having been a part of it for so long. The story is going places and I feel going ahead there’s nothing new I can bring to it. I will miss playing Ram.”

The actor admitted that it was tempting to stay on, but said that he wants to continue challenging himself. He said, “I feel I have paid my dues to the makers and the audiences in the last 18 months. Moreover, you must know when to go and now is the time to go. It is tempting to stay on and continue with a show and receive the love but what more is my question. I look at challenging myself. I have had patience and resilience to say no to a lot of things and preserve myself for bigger things.”

In his decade-long acting career, Nakuul has been a part of shows such as Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara, Ishaqbaaz, and Dil Boley Oberi.
