2000 was a very iconic year for Indian television when the small screen became as big and massive as the world of films. The staggering success of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki and of course, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, changed the game forever. This daily soap saga, in particular, forced the women to be hooked and glued to their television sets.

One of the most iconic characters of this Ekta Kapoor show was Mihir, which was essayed by Amar Upadhyay, and later by Ronit Roy. In an interview with Times of India, Upadhyay talks about how he had to leave the show and why he doesn't regret that decision.
