Taneja's career finally saw a turning point when he signed the parallel lead role of Purab Khanna in Zee TV's popular daily soap Kumkum Bhagya, created by Kapoor.[5][6] He won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Zee Gold Awards, and exited the show in 2016. In 2017, Arjit then moved to Indonesia for a few months where he was cast as lead in the Indonesian show ' Nadin ' (ANTV) alongside his former co-star from Kumkum Bhagya Mrunal Thakur and Indonesia Actress Dewi Persik. [7]

Simultaneously along with Kumkum Bhagya, he was seen as Bilal Khan in another Kapoor production—Sony TV's Pyaar Ko Ho Jaane Do in 2015.[8] In 2016, he did Zing's Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya and participated in Colors TV's Box Cricket League 2 produced by Kapoor.[9]

His next TV series was Colors TV's love triangle-themed Bahu Begum which premiered in July 2019.[12] In the show Taneja was cast as Azaan Akhtar Mirza, the Nawab of Bhopal.[3] Due to low viewership, Bahu Begum culminated in January 2020.[13]
