When asked about a moment that was mentally and physically challenging, Rounak Gulia said, “Mentally toh dekho, throughout the show mere liye mentally bohot zyada pressure tha, bohot stress tha kyuki dekho aise mahol mein ghar se bahar, villa se bahar jo mera mahol hai, mujhe logo se bohot pyaar milta hai, support milta hai, motivation milta hai. Wahan pe aisa nahi tha. Wahan pe sab aapki taang kheech rahe hai, aapko down karne ke liye, aapko poke kar rahe hai, toh who sab cheezein isse pehle life mein maine kabhi dekhi nahi hai. Toh alag hi behaviour mera aa raha tha, toh mentally bohot pressure tha.”
Talking about the physically challenging aspect, Rounak said, “Just aapka kisi se jhagda hua hai. Abhi abhi just currently and abhi jaa ke aapko perform karna hai, physically. Toh dono tareeke se aap matlab bohot pressure tha ki abhi jhagda hua hai, abhi roye ho aap aur abhi jaa ke aapko perform karna hai, acha perform nahi kiya toh bezzati ho jayegi, aur itna sab kuch bol diya hai toh matlab hota hai na ek human nature, kai baar aap gusse mein, ladai mein aisi cheezen bol dete ho aur fir aapko lagta hai ki yaar ye nahi kiya toh bhai jeena haram ho jayega. Toh waisi wali situation toh mere saath bohot baar aayi hai.”
