Sometimes, an unspoken heartfelt wish finds its way to realisation. To Angad Bedi, Ghoomer is that realisation. The actor, who plays a supportive partner to Saiyami Kher in the sports drama, recalls how he did a cameo in Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi (2016), hoping it would catch the attention of her filmmaker-husband R Balki. “Gauri Shinde said I should do Dear Zindagi because people would see me in a different light from how they saw me in Pink [2016]. I said yes because somewhere I thought that Balki sir might notice me. In 2022, when he offered me Ghoomer, I asked him if he wanted to test me for the role. He refused, saying, ‘I don’t need to because I remember that scene you did in Dear Zindagi.’ My one scene stayed with him for six years,” the actor beams.
