He is such a fabulous actor.” Giving a special mention to Riteish Deshmukh's acting in the courtroom climax, Gupta stated, “One thing I remember is during the climax of the series, it was a courtroom scene. Riteish had this three-page monologue, and without being disturbed by what was happening in and around him and the chaos, he delivered it at a go.”
Expressing the surprise he felt during the shoot, Gupta revealed, “And I was so surprised, so surprised, because there was so much chaos in a courtroom scene, any which way there are so many people, there are so many things happening, and actors also kept forgetting their lines.
