Mumbai: 'Hope I get to play a detective on-screen one day,' said actor Arjun Kapoor. The 34-year-old, who runs his own digital property 'Arjun Recommends' through which he suggests good content for people to binge on, is currently gorging on yesteryears acclaimed TV show Byomkesh Bakshi amid quarantine.
Byomkesh Bakshi, based on the fictional character created by writer Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay and starring Rajit Kapur, is being re-telecasted on DD National during the nationwide lockdown to combat the spread of coronavirus pandemic in the country.
For Arjun, this show is like a whiff of nostalgia from his childhood.
Whenever I could catch 'Byomkesh Bakshi' as a kid, I remember I enjoyed it thoroughly. For me, Byomkesh was what a hero should be. Slick, super-intelligent, and charismatic, he is one of the best sleuths that I have seen on screen!
"I have been watching 'Byomkesh...' on TV again and it is pure nostalgia for me," Arjun said in a statement.
