Aryan Khan on Audience Love
Aryan Khan shared a heartfelt note:
“Whenever things got tough, I’d hear Jaraj’s voice in my head: ‘Haarne mein aur haar maanne mein bohot farak hota hai.’ At first, I thought it was motivation. Later I realised it was just fatigue. Still, that vision kept me going. Seeing the joy my work brings to people is deeply emotional. What began as my story now belongs to the audience.”
Social Media Frenzy
The show has sparked a wave of memes, reels, and fan theories. Bobby Deol’s 1997 track Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela has made a comeback with 5 million fresh views.
