Getting candid about switching from TV to films at the same time as Sushant Singh Rajput and the changing scenarios since then, Gurmeet Choudhary said, “Well, bahot – bahot hadd tak change ho gaya hai.” He continued, “You know, mai aur Sushant (Singh Rajput) ek saath hi TV ke stars the aur dono ek saath hi kaam kar rahe the” Adding that it is normal for TV actors who are being successful to want to move into films, Gurmeet said, “Uss waqt aisa hota tha, common hai ki TV actor ko aap roz dhekte ho toh aap kyu film mein dhekne jayenge.”
Stating that all actors who made the switch – including Sushant Singh Rajput, have heard this statement, the Ramayan actor continued, “(Woh) bolte the ki aap bilkul fit baithe hai lekin (kyuki) aap TV star ho toh hum film mein nahi lenge. But uske kuch time baad hi Sushant ne woh break kiya. Sushant ne actually bahot aacha kaam kiya.”
Adding that when someone breaks the barriers erected it benifits all, Gurmeet Choudhary stated, “Sushant ne definately (woh break kiya hai) aur mera rashta khul gaya tha. Kyuki sare prducers aur directors ko laga ki these stars ki fan following hoti hai, woh hardworking bhi bote hai. Agar Sushant star bana hai toh dusra next kon hai. Toh waha se mujhe liya gaya tha.” He added, “Ab toh woh sari cheeze rahi nahi. Abhi toh sari mediums ek ho gayi hai joh bahot aachi baat hai. Har koi ek dusre ke saath kaam karta hai.”
