Okay. Amidst the frenzy, the endless answering of repetitive questions and responding to the showers of love and support that have comprised the last month-and-a-half, I’ll admit that I’ve been on a bit of auto-pilot and didn’t have too many opportunities to stop, think or feel too much... But shit just got real. I’ve never framed a film-poster of mine or cared too much to display any awards so far with too much pride. But that’s just about to change too. Thank you for this moment in my life, @iemmys, @zoieakhtar, @nityamehra19, @reemakagti1, @alankrita601, @p_n_a_i_r, @faroutakhtar, @ritesh_sid, @aparnapurohit, @excelmovies, @tigerbabyfilms, @primevideoin and all the amazing cast and crew of @madeinheaventv! And a very special mention of all you absolute heroes that helped me clear these extreme valuables through the Indian customs (damn you, KYC) - @thepopupdelhi, @rajeevmasand, @murtuza.arsiwalla, @punit_singh, @tehelkaa_ and all the generous souls you spoke to, to make it happen at such lightning speed! Lastly, so glad my sister @sonicgk was here to share this moment with me and take this photograph This is a crazy feeling. Ok bye.

A few days back, the actor in an interview recalled receiving the news with a sense of disbelief. "The first thing I did was not believe it, stare at my phone screen for a good five to 10 minutes. I kept on looking for some way to confirm if it was real or if I was dreaming. Then I messaged my family. The first phone call I made was to (series co-creator) Zoya (Akhtar). I haven't yet had the chance to celebrate the news as such," Arjun said.

On the show, his protagonist Karan is gay. "I try to not think a character as straight or gay. You don't have to think about that in every scene you perform because your mannerisms and behaviour don't have too much to do with your sexual preference," he said.
