It has been over a year since Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein dropped on Netflix, but Tahir Raj Bhasin says he continues to win praise for his performance in the series. “I never get tired of the love that I get. It was a dream part,” begins Bhasin, who has been nominated in the Best Actor (Male): Series category at the fourth edition of the mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards. Director Sidharth Sengupta’s romantic thriller saw the actor as a small-town guy whose life takes a tragic turn after he becomes the object of a woman’s obsession.
Bhasin remembers being unable to put down the eight-episode script, and reading it in one go overnight. To him, that was a marker of the story’s merit. “The second reason to do the show was that it was told from the female gaze. In cinema, we have often seen what it’s like when a guy is infatuated with a girl. Here, the gender roles were reversed. Additionally, the show paid homage to the ’90s Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan,” he says.
