Time kaise nikal gaya pata hi nahi chala. She went back home in the wee hours of the morning," shares an excited Raja to Timesofindia.com.



Interestingly, Raja also cooked a special meal for his daughter and shared a glimpse of the same on his Instagram page. "I am a very good cook. And I wanted to prove it to Palak too. So I prepared a lavish meal for the two of us and we both spent some quality time together," he said.



Reportedly, Raja has made up his mind to once again live in Mumbai so that he can be close to his daughter. "The meeting made me realize how hungry I am for my daughter's love. I really want her in my life. And so it was that night that I decided that I will now stay in Mumbai and revive my acting career. I already have a house in Mumbai. I now need to earn money for my living," shared Raja to TOI.



He further added,"I have already started to work on my physique and have started auditioning for roles in TV, films, and also web series.
