Mumbai, May 6 (AHN) Actor Kunal Thakur, who essayed the role of Raka Singh Beniwal in the recently released web show "Glory," shared an emotional moment from the shoot of the drama.
He revealed that for the first time in his nine-year-long career, his father visited him on the set, creating a memory that he will cherish throughout his life.
"For the first time in 9 years of being in this industry, my father came to see me on set @netflix_in @atomicfilmsin (sic)", Kunal's latest post on Instagram read.
Reliving the moment, he went on to add, "My parents live in Abu Dhabi, and somehow through all these years, schedules, shoots, struggles, and dreams… he had never seen me working on set in person. But this time, Mukti @muktimohan made it happen. She brought him to the world I’ve been chasing for almost a decade and seeing him stand there, watching me become Raka… silently taking it all in… that moment felt bigger than any premiere, applause, or screen time ever could."
Describing the significance of the precious moment, Kunal revealed that for him, it was about being seen and understood by the person whose presence mattered the most.
He added that seeing his father witness it all silently became a powerful validation of his years of persistence and dedication.
"This was my real moment of Glory, And honestly, nothing will ever top that for me", concluded the post.
