Actor's statement
'Sadly, I am not returning to the show'
In an exclusive interview with Zoom/Telly Talk, Gandhi said, "I am very happy to see so much love from people." "Sadly, I am not returning to the show. In an interview, I said that I want to go to the show, but I want to go to promote my film." Gandhi had earlier told Hindi Rush, "I would definitely like to return to the show. I never worked for money, nor did I leave the show for money."
Promotion strategy
'This will be a closure for me'
Gandhi further explained his plans to promote his films on TMKOC. He said, "Kyunki jo banda jaha se seekh kar nikla hai, ussi jagah par jakar firse apni film ko promote karega... this will be a closure for me." "A circle will complete for me.

Future plans
Gandhi has been laughing at the rumors
Gandhi also revealed that he has been laughing ever since the rumors of his return started. "I have been laughing for a long time, wondering what people are thinking and what they are saying." "Because I have shot three films. Next year, my fourth film is going to go on floors. I've thought about a lot of things." "I can't talk about going back to the show. I will not do it."
