The actor seemed quite happy with Karan stepping into his shoes and said, "I'm very happy for Karan bagging the role of Bajaj. I think he'll do a great job. My good wishes are with him. May he and kzk2 attain much greater heights of popularity than I did," SpotboyE quoted Ronit as saying.
When asked if he has any advice for Karan, Ronit replied, "He's a seasoned actor and doesn't need my advice. All I can say is, be cool."
