When asked about the reason for Hina Khan not being happy, Rocky revealed, "Because maine ek aise insaan ko replace kiya jisko she used to call 'bhai'. (Because I replaced that person who Hina considered her brother)." Because of some issues, he needed to move on, and I came in."
He added, "Hina was like 'Why is my brother not there anymore?'" Jaiswal elaborated on how Hina had good tuning with the person who was earlier working in his position, as they used to work long hours together.

He continued, "There was a lot of cold vibe from her side. I was like Chalo koi nahi dekhte hai. But I knew that she is not happy."
Recalling his impression of Hina, he said, "She was just another actor for me (laughs). I never go ki 'Yaar kitni khoobsurat hai and all that to anybody.' (I never go 'Oh she is so beautiful' to anybody)."
Rocku continued, "I am not into physical appearance. I had no interest in how she looks or who she is. I was doing my job. I knew that this girl is the lead of the show."
Further, the Pati Patni Aur Panga fame said, "And since I have been working in the same production, I knew there is a lot of talk about her, that happens normally in television that - 'She is like that. She will give you a tough time."
He admitted, "I was coming up with the mindset that shayad mujhe bhi voh tough time face karna padega. (I was coming up with the mindset that I would have to face the tough time). I knew I will have to be in my boundaries."
However, without them realising, they fell for each other and the rest is history. Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal are currently seen in Pati Patni Aur Panga.
