It's amazing how he connects a fictional character to his real-life struggles. That scene where Shelly Rungta is quietly powerful must be the one he's talking about. Shows that true strength doesn't always need to shout.

Respectfully, while I admire his work, sometimes these posts feel a bit too curated. The show was great, but not every moment needs a deep, philosophical backstory. Just my two paise.

As someone who watched the original British version, I was skeptical. But Anil Kapoor completely owned the role of Shelly Rungta. He brought a different, more layered menace to it. Brilliant adaptation!

Three years already? Time flies! This series set a new benchmark for Indian thrillers on OTT. Kapoor saab's performance was the backbone. Hope Part 2 is announced soon!

His message about people stepping on your toes... so relatable for anyone who's worked their way up. It's not just a film industry thing, it happens in every corporate office in India. More actors should share such real reflections.
