MUMBAI : Manav Kaul, currently recognized as one of the finest actors in Bollywood, had a stint that set him apart. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Kaul shared an intriguing chapter from his past. He revealed an incident where he, along with four others, was mistakenly detained by Mumbai Police in connection with the 1997 murder case of T-Series founder, Gulshan Kumar.

Kaul reminisced about the early days when financial constraints led him and his friends to stay up late, wandering around studios and Film City during the day. A neighbor's suspicion about their late-night activities and gambling prompted a complaint, leading to their unexpected encounter with the law.

Reflecting on the incident, Kaul, who was quite young at the time, humorously remarked, "I felt this is how Mumbai welcomed me."

In an interesting twist of fate, while working on the film "Tumhari Sulu" at the T-Series office, Kaul came face to face with Gulshan Kumar's picture at the entry. This moment made him ponder about his journey, from the unexpected encounter with the law to his successful career in the industry.
