It is pertinent to mention that Rao had attempted suicide earlier as well, during the Covid-19 lockdown, after an extreme financial crunch.

On the work front, Rao worked with Sharma in 2016 and was also a part of ‘Comedy Circus Ke Ajoobe’. He was later offered a character after the actor’s fallout with fellow Sunil Grover but had to drop the opportunity due to his commitment towards a Gujarati film.
