As a patriarchal and emotionally abusive husband on screen, actor Nishant Dahiya is being appreciated for his performance in the recently released Mrs. However, his first instinct was to refuse the film. “I had seen The Great Indian Kitchen [2021] before and loved the [story] and hated the husband’s character. So, when Mrs was offered to me, my first reaction was, ‘I don’t want to be this person.’ I didn’t want people hating me,” Dahiya reveals.
Mrs is the Hindi adaptation of the Malayalam film, The Great Indian Kitchen
