Vijayendra Kumeria, who was last seen in Aapki nazron Ne Samja, shared with Pinkvilla Team, "The mentality of people has changed for the good. Boy or girl doesn't really matter, and a large part of society has stopped differentiating between the both. Boy or girl are both equal in every aspect of life, and I hope that the thought process of every person should be this. Gender equality is an accepted norm now. We have evolved considerably in thoughts, preception and mindset."
