"I was offered some other role in the past for Mahabharat but I was busy with Jodha Akbar and thus could not take it up. This time when I got the role of Agnidev, I took the decision of leaving Jodha Akbar. I thought this role will be a good one to start a mythological show. I have been playing the character of Bhagandas in Jodha Akbar but after a while the character was not going the way it was planned to be. As an actor I feel I should do more roles where I can present myself nicely so I left Jodha Akbar."
Kunal also shares that for playing Agnidev, he has to do a 'body paint' for a couple of hours. Agnidev is someone who will give his gandiv to Arjuna, thus despite being a cameo it is a very important role. Mahabharat is a great show. It has created a huge craze in the audience and after many years when Swastik's Mahabharat will be re run on television I can proudly say that I played an important role in this epic."
