There's no discussion thread on Nikhil and every other actor seems to have one, so I decided to open a thread to...errr...discuss the character of Nikhil and welcome his fans.
Everyone is welcome to add their views. I will also add - "please do not bash Mr Abhay Shukla."
What I have got to say is purely about Nikhil. When he arrived as Daya's shishya in the boxing ring, I wasn't impressed. When I found him slowly taking the place of Vivek I wasn't happy.
BUT...FW has given a proper shape to his character - as the funny guy who goofs up things, who gets hyper when there's something to do with Daya. 😆 and how he starts crying like a kid. Whether it is intentional or not, Nikhil has been the main character of many of our funny stories. Love him or hate him, but we just can't ignore him and his antics.
In the Invisible Bullet episode...when he was floating in the room the way he was shouting and screaming was actually funny. He pulls off such scenes well. If it were Freddie or Sachin (or duo) doing the same thing it wouldn't have been so funny. We might not be able to accept Freddie being made to look like a silly guy..Sachin is too serious to shout and scream like that.
In the Satara episode where he started feeling dizzy near the waterfall and pushes off Abhijeet. Even here, it's only Nikhil who can be made to do that. The other cops cannot be shown as clumsy as him.
There was also an episode (forgot the name) where he drinks milk and then sees an Aatma and runs to Freddie's house. I happened to see that scene recently during a re run and I found it funny.
I find some of Nik's scenes entertaining. So...what do you all think? Do post your views.
