    “It is applicable too because the series is very pulpy Bollywood. It has throwbacks to the ’90s purely in terms of the theme: there is passionate romance and revenge. There’s a character arc where an ordinary man faces extraordinary circumstances,” the actor, who was lately seen in Kabir Khan’s “83”, instructed PTI in an interview over Zoom.

    “He has shown us all shades of romance. I think that’s the beauty about being an artiste and the kind of person that he is… That’s what I love about cinema that influences your daily life. Entertainment is a major chunk of this but there is so much more. Films break all barriers like caste, religion, etc, as it only boils down to emotions,” she mentioned.
    Singh, who has grown as much as Shah Rukh’s movies, mentioned she is solely “happy” to be a part of a present that celebrates the King of Romance.

    “It was new to play a character who wears his heart on sleeve and leads with his heart. The exciting dynamic of having a romantic triangle with a very interesting, inverse sort of perspective. We’ve seen so many themes of a love triangle when the man is passionately in love with the woman. But what happens if it’s the other way round and also she is in the position of power? Love is an intense emotion to play, just like hate is at the other end of the spectrum. Just to be able to play both these extremes in one series was a big challenge,” the 34-year-old actor mentioned.
    Tripathi Sharma, 36, described the present as a “rollercoaster of emotions”.

Maybe from the outside they both want the same things but the more you go inside, you see how different they are. For Purva, everything is fair in love and war,” she mentioned.
    The collection is one more ever-growing listing of net collection based mostly in a small-town of north India and Bhasin mentioned the present does full justice to the milieu.
    “When I see ‘Narcos’, ‘Squid Game’ or ‘Borgen’, they are unapologetically authentic to their native countries. Our series is also rooted in reality even when there is stylised dramatisation,” he mentioned.
    Tripathi Sharma, whom Bhasin referred to as ‘a north India expert’ courtesy her starring turns in movies like “Masaan”, “Raat Akeli Hai”, and Prime Video collection “Mirzapur”, mentioned relatability is a big issue that gravitates inventive folks to the area.
    “There are so many flavours to explore in north India. I still think we haven’t done that. What I like about ‘Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein’ and what OTT is offering is that there’s something for everyone. If you want spice, you have that. If you want dessert, there is that too,” she mentioned.
    Also starring Saurabh Shukla, Surya Sharma, Brijendra Kala, Arunoday Singh, Anant Joshi, Sunita Rajwar and Hetal Gada, the collection will begin streaming from January 14.
