Speaking fondly of his late father, Mohit told a news portal, “I have never said this but my father was a firm believer in Lord Shiva. So, I think this role was a gift from my father to me. Because the day I got the confirmation that I am playing Lord Shiva that was the day I lost my father. So, I feel it was his gift for me because it can’t be a coincidence. I wanted to give my best to the show as I thought it was a gift from him.”

Mohit, who is currently seen in the Disney+Hotstar OTT series The Freelancer has quit TV at the peak of his career. Speaking about it he said, “Absolutely. When I came to Mumbai, I was never driven by money or fame ever. I didn’t know about these things, so I had nothing to lose. I only wanted to fulfill my creative needs. I was in a relationship with the camera and it did not bother me which medium it belonged to. I have no regrets and God has been kind with the kind of opportunities I got in my career.”
