Aniruddha Jatkar’s reaction
Meanwhile, Aniruddha Jatkar has said that he will return to the show if the makers will ask him. In a recent interview, Jatkar said that he has no egotism.

He added that he has worked sincerely and everything will be good for him.
Talking about being removed from Jothe Jotheyali, Aniruddha said that the cast of the show is with him. “I told them that I would ask for more after a year in terms of remuneration. At first, I was paid less. After one-and-a-half years, I got paid. After all, this, if they talk to me again, I will act. It’s not easy to act after all this, but I will act for my fans and for my role,” he said in the interview.
He adds that the fight is not new as they have had arguments over many things. The main reason why Aniruddha accepted the role was due to the character, he explains. In the interview, Jatkar said that he never said that he will not do negative roles and even the makers of the show stated that the character will not be a villain. However, for many episodes, he donned the hat of a villain.
