Anjum Batra on his character Mintu

Reflecting on the first season, Anjum shared, “In Season 1, the character of Mintu… was quite single-layered, according to me. There weren’t many dimensions to him; he was essentially Tyagi’s shadow, his yes-man.” He added, “Whatever Tyagi said or did, Mintu believed it was the best. He always stood by him and followed his lead.” Despite that simplicity, Mintu’s positivity stood out. “He was also someone who never spoke negatively… always positive, a high-spirited person… someone who stays happy no matter what.”
