Delhi: Netflix partnered with ACT Fibernet for Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek to surprise fans by travelling to their respective cities.
Elderly couples to young adults and kids, all queued up and patiently waited for a glimpse of their favourite artists from balconies and windows - cheering for them, as they walked around the neighbourhood soaking in all the smiles with only and only gratitude in their hearts.
Sharma shared, “When I first heard this idea from Netflix, I absolutely loved it. No further questions asked. I have always talked about the deepest gratitude and regard I hold for my fans and to be able to meet them in person, in their homes, and share a moment with them, is a priceless experience for me. It almost felt like meeting my extended family. I am glad we could do this. It feels surreal when you get treated so warmly by fans and you are privy to their genuine feelings so up close and personal.”
Grover further added, “The expression on people’s faces - the surprise, delight and warmth just touched my heart. I am falling short of words to express myself. I am touched by the amount of love people showered on us. This whole experience has engraved itself in my core memory. I can't stop smiling as I say this.”
Abhishek shared, “Getting an opportunity to be treated not like a guest but like family in the homes of our amazing fans was deeply moving. It has reinstated that we are on the right track and it only motivates us to keep working harder. It absolutely felt great to personally visit societies and homes - where people knew so much about us. They asked us so caringly about our family and kids. To know that people are enjoying the episodes with family saying they have a reason to watch something so wholesome together is reassuring and I would like to congratulate Netflix for bringing us together.”
Talking about the surprise visits organised by ACT Fibernet and Netflix, Ravi Karthik, CMO of ACT Fibernet, said, “This unique collaboration between ACT Fibernet and Netflix has brought the magic of entertainment directly into the homes of subscribers. It also showcases the power of laughter to unite communities. Kapil, Sunil and Krushna are household names, known and loved for their TV appearances for years. With their new show - The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, we saw this as an opportunity to provide our subscribers with an advantage and organised these surprise visits. By bridging the virtual and real worlds, ACT Fibernet and Netflix reaffirm their commitment to enhancing the customer experience while spreading joy through laughter.”
