This creates a playful chase between the officer and Afroz.

Quotes
Bhuvan Arora
Actor who portrays Afroz in Waiting Hai
“Even during the shoot, he would stop a scene if something didn’t sound right. We would tell him it could always be fixed in dubbing, but for him, it was important that the performance felt real at that very moment. That process really helped me understand Afroz better, as well as the world he comes from.”

“Afroz is not really a talker; he’s more of a listener, so there was a conscious choice to not make him speak too much. In fact, throughout the show, he has the least amount of dialogue and verbal communication, and that became an important part of how we built his character.”
