- Aasman Singh: The Internet’s New Favourite Underdog
Lakshya, aka the relentless Aasman Singh, says the “avalanche of love” for his character is “unreal.” No cap, the fandom went from zero to full obsessed real quick, giving us all major dream-chaser feels. The show soared to No. 1 on Netflix India right after its September 18 drop, with timelines celebrating, and close circles going bonkers. Aasman’s “Mumbai, sapne, struggle” energy is so relatable, you’re basically running on espresso and existential dread with him, cue late-night DMs: “Bro, last ep, promise?”

Bobby Deol’s ‘Ajay Talvar’ Energy = Soft Boy Swagger
Bobby Deol, Bollywood’s forever dimple king, called working on the show “blessed”; the gratitude is real, but the swagger’s sharper than ever. When Bobby nudged debutant director Aryan Khan to smile on premiere night, the internet melted, full-on wholesome content. Also, rumor has it an old school Bobby banger is blowing up online again, because meta-nostalgia never dies. OG meets new-wave, and it just works.Raghav Juyal, Meme-Machine, Bestie Material
