Speaking about the next step forward and his plan for repairs, he said, "It was made with lots of love. I had called people from France to get a special cloth material to do it. It’s a 6,000 sq feet place. So, of course, it won’t be easy. But I am not going to wait. I’ll get it rectified soonest."

The restaurant opened in December 2019 and celebs such as Hardik Pandya, Sohail Khan, Iulia Vantur, Alvira Khan, Krystle D’Souza and Nia Sharma had attended the grand dinner launch of the venture.

The rains come in as an added issue as business at the restaurant was already suffering due to the COVID-19 pandemic similar to most food outlets in the country.

"But after COVID, the business hasn't been too great. Moreover, twice it was shut down due to the lockdown. Abhi bhi bandh hi tha kyunki the time limit of opening is 4 pm and business is more so after 16:00 hours, " he added.

Kushal is most well-known known for his role in 'Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai' as Virat Singh Vadhera. He had also featured in the show 'Beyhadh' as Arjun Sharma and participated in Bigg Boss 7 in 2013.
