Harsh Mayar reveals the source of inspiration behind 'Gullak' character
Mumbai, June 15
Actor Harsh Mayar, who is receiving a lot of positive response to his work in the recently released 5th season of the streaming show 'Gullak', has revealed the source of nuances for his character in the show.
The actor spoke with IANS during the promotions of the show along with Jameel Khan, Anant Joshi and Helly Shah.
When asked how he takes care of the relatability factor with regard to his character of the younger brother in the show, he told IANS. "I have a younger brother in real life. So I took some of the nuances of the first season from him. Then season by season, different things in his behavior. The way it was written and told to do. Then I tried to put something from there. Like there is a line in it that is becoming very famous these days. That even the land gets annoyed by a man, who does nothing. So that line, the maid in my friend's house, she had spoken for her husband".
"So that is how it came from there. So when I spoke to Anubhav in the first season, that is my own line. So doing this, I put a lot of things from my life into it. And whatever was made, I kept making it", he added.
The upcoming season of the show is set to bring back the warmth, chaos, humour, and heart that audiences have cherished over the years. This season, Mishra Nivas isn't just getting an upgrade, it's getting a life update. A fresh coat of paint. A new Wi-Fi connection. And a family slowly trying to keep up with changing times. But while the world outside evolves, the little moments inside the house remain timeless.
'Gullak' is available to stream on Sony LIV.

It's so heartwarming to see actors drawing from real people around them. The maid's line being used in the show is such a lovely touch - it shows how authentic storytelling can come from anywhere if you're observant. 'Gullak' truly captures the essence of middle-class Indian families.
I just started watching 'Gullak' and I'm hooked! The way Harsh brings authenticity to his character is amazing. Shows like these remind me why I love Indian storytelling - it's so grounded in real experiences. The new season sounds exciting with the Wi-Fi upgrade and all! 😄
Honestly, I hope the writers don't lose the original charm while trying to modernize Mishra Nivas. The earlier seasons worked because of the simple, everyday humor. But Harsh's dedication to his craft gives me hope. Let's see how the 'life update' plays out. 🤔
I'm so excited for the new season! 'Gullak' is one of those rare shows that makes you feel like you're part of the family. Harsh Mayar's approach to his character is truly inspiring - taking inspiration from his own brother and even a friend's maid! That's dedication to realism. 👏
The best part about 'Gullak' is how it balances humor and emotion. Harsh's character is the heart of the show, and knowing he puts so much thought into those small details makes me appreciate it even more. That line about the land is already a classic! 😂
