New Delhi:
Vihaan Samat is in the news (for all the right reasons). The actor’s latest offering Call Me Bae premiered on September 6. In the show, Ananya and Vihaan recreated Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra’s beloved wedding. Opening up about the same in an exclusive interview with NDTV, Vihaan said, “We were all so nervous recreating that scene. It’s so sweet and iconic that it had to be done to a T. When I first saw it, I was in awe of how beautifully it had come out, we were skeptical about recreating that part, it’s one of my favorite scenes to shoot, I personally adore Sidharth and Kiara, so recreating their big day on screen was even more special.
ICYDK: Call Me Bae stars Ananya Panday as Bella Chowdhary (Bae) and right from the very first episode, the show delivers a brilliant meta moment. Bae and her on-screen husband Agastya (Aggie, played by Vihaan Samat) are seen getting married in a ceremony that humorously mirrors Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra’s buzz-worthy wedding last year. The bridal outfits, synchronized gestures and the overall vibe of the sequence feels like it was lifted straight from Kiara and Sidharth’s mandap, where the couple famously exchanged glances and sealed the moment with a namastala that quickly went viral. The Call Me Bae scene has a playful nod to the same soundtrack – Jasleen Royal’s Ranjha – the same song Kiara walked down the aisle to.
The series also stars Vir Das, Varun Sood, Gurfateh Pirzada, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra and Mini Mathur.
Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment and executive produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra, the series stars Ananya Panday in her OTT debut.
