Harman Baweja made a fabulous comeback with Hansal Mehta’s hit web series ‘Scoop.’ He was recently featured in Netflix’s promotional video to give a powerful reply to all his critics but with a pinch of humour. He also referred back to when he was compared with actor Hrithik Roshan for his looks by calling his haters “Critic Roshans.”
Baweja opens the video by saying, “Oh God! Please! Let me silence my Hrithiks. I mean critics. I thought I knew what the future would be but I was wrong. But, I was not the only one.”
Showing a framed news article with the headline ‘Harman Be-waja’, the actor says, “Even they were wrong. I am Baweja not be-waja.” Showing another article with the headline ‘The future doesn’t look Roshan for him', he says, "You know what I call my haters, Critic Roshans. I'm looking to start my second innings in acting. No, no, no, no. I am not talking about Victory's sequel. I am talking about Scoop. Scoop on Netflix! Woohoo Woohoo!”
Sharing the funny video, Netflix captioned it on Instagram, “Har-man mein Harman rehta hai because he lives in our hearts rent free. @hansalmehta’s #Scoop is now streaming only on Netflix!”
Many seem to have not recognised Harman in the show. A fan commented, “I watched the whole series and now I realised who he is unexpectedly FAB performance." Praising him, a fan wrote, “He is amazing in SCOOP and I love that he can joke about himself.” Another commented, “Happy to see you back and waiting to see how it goes for you now! Best of luck.” One more called it “Undoubtedly the best comebacks so far from the industry”.
The show features Harman as JCP Harshavardhan Shroff in ‘Scoop.’ It also stars Karishma Tania, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Harman Baweja, Tannishtha Chatterjee and Deven Bhojani. The show is based on the real-life story of Jigna Vora, who was accused of the murder of mid-day reporter Jyotirmoy Dey in June 2011.
