Manoj Bahpayee who plays the role of Srikant Tiwari reveals how his wife Shabana Raza reacted when she came to know that he is doing a series. He said, “When I was doing season one, my wife asked with concern, ‘Is everything alright? Why are you doing a series?’ I told her, ‘Shabana, it’s a big thing in the US, and it’s going to peak here as well’”

He further said, “But Shabana could not understand. She asked, ‘You’re not doing this for money, are you? We’re very happy, you don’t need to do things that you don’t want to’. I told her that I’m not doing this for money, and that this is a very good show and shows are doing very well all over the world. We shot two seasons, and then the pandemic happened, and the pandemic changed everything.’

Speaking of one film that he is not proud of, Manoj said, “It was a bad film, bad film. After the film she called me and I asked how she liked the film, and she said, ‘Stop doing films for money. We are not so desperate that you did it for money. It was embarrassing, I felt insulted, humiliated in the theatre, don’t ever do it, please! You are good at stories and characters, please choose them, not these films, you don’t need to prove anything else’”
