Rajan Shahi said, ''The 'star system' has reduced gradually over the years. Now, it is the content that works. However, at that point of time, when the 'star system' was prevalent, I took a decision, when I was told by the channel that they will shut the show if I change this lead. I changed the lead. I said, tell me now, keep me and shut the show. In a month, the show went to 3.5 from 1.9. At that time, every producer and channel called me to thank me for showing them the way.''
