"This was my real moment of Glory, And honestly, nothing will ever top that for me - Kunal Thakur"

But this time, Mukti @muktimohan made it happen. She brought him to the world I've been chasing for almost a decade and seeing him stand there, watching me become Raka... silently taking it all in... that moment felt bigger than any premiere, applause, or screen time ever could."

He added that seeing his father witness it all silently became a powerful validation of his years of persistence and dedication.

"This was my real moment of Glory, And honestly, nothing will ever top that for me", concluded the post.

I teared up reading this. So many of us struggle with parents who don't get our unconventional career choices. Seeing Kunal's dad finally witness his hard work after 9 years is heartwarming. This is a reminder that persistence pays off, and that our parents' love is always in the background. I hope the show 'Glory' does well for him!

It's rare to see such vulnerability from an actor. This is genuinely touching. I know so many people in the film industry whose families are still waiting for that one big break to visit the set. Kunal, you're lucky to have that moment, and your dad must be proud. Shows like 'Glory' need more authentic stories like this. 🙏

Respect for Kunal for sharing such a personal moment. In the West, we often take this kind of family support for granted. Seeing the Indian context where parents can be skeptical of acting careers, this is a huge deal. Hope the show is as good as this story. I'll check it out on Netflix.

Waah! This is pure emotion. I can imagine how surreal it must have been for Kunal. 9 years of struggle, and finally, his father sees him in action.
