Reacting to Nakuul Mehta, one fan said, “Of course it doesn’t go against your job. I guess they are just trying to showcase something that is uncommon in the industry. Most actors in the past have been school or college drop outs so it’s nice to see others who completed their education and pursued a career in acting.”
