On being quizzed if he had any similarities to Anuj, who was being called an ideal man, Khanna said that this character appealed to him since it had characteristics that were strikingly comparable to his nature. Anuj is a dream man, a fantasy character, which he believes is really difficult for actual people to be since it is a prince charming character and their situations are very different.
Life would be different if one took a character from a storybook and put him in a real-life situation. Khanna called Anuj an ambitious persona who is here to inspire. Thus, the backdrop has been reality versus hope.
The actor further said that Anuj has been an incredible character to learn from; he is not sure how a four-year-old as well as an 85-year-old can like Anuj, but it's truly gratifying and a blessing from above.

The character stays with the viewer, and that is how Anuj's appeal works; everyone loves and relates to him, regardless of age.
