I was not in a condition to make a film. After some time, I found that I was in debt. I had to come out of it first. I did not want to make a film because it would give me money and I would repay my debt. If I did that, I would feel that I am doing wrong.'

He further said, 'If I made a film for money, I would feel that I am making the film out of fear. I would not have been able to work happily on the set. If that was the case, then what was the use of working? I did a lot in life to repay the debt. The debt was repaid, and everything was clear, after this, I started working on another film.' tarun mansukhani married a woman named Taruna. They got divorced in 2014 after nine years of marriage.
