this is what MB said in an a interview!
What prompted you to take up Kuch Toh Log Kahenge?
I liked the story, which is not run-of-the-mill and the role, which suits my age. I play middle-aged Dr Ashutosh who has tremendous problems when it comes to emotional commitment. There's a back-story to him as he is an orphan and the person who took care of him has abandoned him for some reason, which I cannot reveal at this point. Even the girl he had loved has left him.😲 Against this backdrop, he finds himself getting attracted to a girl almost half his age. He starts questioning his sensibilities and his insecurities show up when a younger man comes into the picture.
So I guess we will see an ex-lover of Ash ( who ditches him ) & a young man for Nidhi in future. Not a surprise though! Or else how can they drag a 13 episode show into 250 episodes😆
