Shakti Kapoor on the sets of Gharbar, a new web series

When I was approached for this role, all I was told was that it was going to be on YouTube and other digital platforms. I have no clue about the digital platform or how a web series is different from a television serial. I am still treating it like a movie role," says veteran actor Shakti Kapoor when we meet him on the sets Gharbar, a new web series on SABGROUP'S Happii-Fi channel. He is dressed in a simple shirt, trousers and sandals, his oiled hair parted to one side — in short, like the world’s most seedha man. The show’s concept is a hilarious one — Sharmaji, who works with the Delhi Vidyut Board and has just retired, calls his friends over to check out his new home. They are impressed but when they realise he doesn’t have a bar, they laugh and sneer, "Sharmaji, you tried to be all high society, but your mentality is still lowly." The bar becomes a symbol of upward mobility. And that’s where Sharmaji journey with his bar begins.
