She shed light on the decision-making process behind her exit, revealing that her professional choices are often guided by her Chachu (Raj Bamne). She shared that her decision to step away from Anupamaa was a collective one, made after careful consideration with her family.

Muskan said, "All my professional decisions are taken by my Chachu (Raj Bamne). We discussed the same, and both of us thought that it would be very soon in my career to play a mother. My family was well aware that whenever the show would require me to play a mother, I'd quit. So, my family was with me on the decision."
