Kunal Thakur on learning Haryanavi for Glory

Kunal reveals that he had to master the Haryanavi dialect for his role in Glory. He recalled how his wife Mukti Mohan helped him with the dialect for the auditions, which eventually landed him the role. "I didn't know Haryanvi, but my wife Mukti helped me with the dialect and with making the script, adding a few things in the script for the audition. She helped me with not just delivering what is written. So, there was some improv, and there were some intuitive actions in the audition, which sort of helped me get shortlisted. After that, I had a meeting with the director."
