The actor further remembered an incident when in the show, he was getting smacked by his boss, and seeing this, the actor's mom walked off the room. Rajpal then mentioned that he had to explain to his mom that it was all a part of acting. Recalling the old days, the actor stated:
"This was the time when I was yet to make my debut in films. I was two years old in Mumbai, and the show was broadcasted on DD1. Since that was the only channel at the time, people in my village gathered to see me on the show. In one of the scenes, I was dreaming about the last scene between Shah Rukh Khan and Amrish Puri in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, where SRK gets beaten up. Since I was enacting SRK in my dream, I was slapped multiple times by my boss Mr Sethi. My mother was terrified seeing me get beaten up on the scene, and she walked off. Later, I had to explain to her that it was just acting, and these are all trained actors."
In the same interview, the talented actor shared that his parents are not from the cinema, so they don't know what types of equipment are being used or how everything works out behind the screen. He further added how he used to explain everything to his parents. Sharing the details about the same, Rajpal mentioned that he used to tell his parents how sometimes the writers were asked to add such scenes so that the audience could laugh. Rajpal said:
"My parents have absolutely no connection with cinema. They don’t know the techniques we use behind the camera. I had to explain to them that people often ask writers to add scenes where I get slapped to make the audience laugh, making the film a hit. This is how I had to convince them. My parents still don’t exactly know what I do.”
