She shares, ‘I have a distinct memory when I said, ‘Will you pick me up from school?’ And he said, ‘Are you a pickup? I will fetch you from school.’ That kind of just set my parameters of what language can do.” You are known to put your views bluntly.

My job is to make people reflect on the things …

When asked how he views claims that the show was indulgent and polarising, he said in a chat with Variety India, “I don’t look at it as criticism at all. The show would have to be indulgent because, in the end, it’s two big …
