Of late, Karisma Kapoor's social media feed has been flooded with congratulatory messages from fans about her web debut, Mentalhood. Call it serendipity or what you will, but the series — which dropped only 10 days before the lockdown came into effect — has found a new lease of life over the past fortnight as homebound citizens are bingeing on the slice-of-life drama.

"I would call it an unplanned positive coincidence because some things happen without any push. The best part is a lot of people have appreciated the show," says Kapoor, delighted that her maiden digital offering has been welcomed with open arms. She jokes that the Ekta Kapoor-backed series has also earned a nod of approval from daughter Samaira, who is her biggest cheerleader and harshest critic. "My daughter usually doesn't watch Hindi web shows. But she watched Mentalhood, and said, 'Mom, I am so proud of you.' That was overwhelming. As a mother, a compliment coming from my daughter means a lot."
