Amazon MX Player’s paranormal thriller, Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery, immerses viewers in the enigmatic life and unresolved death of Gaurav Tiwari, India’s first paranormal investigator. The series follows Irene as she unravels the circumstances surrounding Tiwari’s mysterious passing, exploring his motivations, choices, and the personal cost of delving into the unseen. Alongside Karan Tacker’s compelling portrayal of Tiwari and Kalki Koechlin’s nuanced performance as Irene, Saloni Batra’s role as Megha adds a deeply human dimension to the narrative, grounding the supernatural story in emotion, belief, and loss.
Reflecting on her role, Saloni Batra said, “In a story filled with the supernatural, Megha embodies emotional reality — love, fear, concern, and resilience. Her journey, from being a believer to walking alongside Gaurav and coping with what follows, shows immense emotional depth. She navigates turmoil while holding on to everything they believed in together.”
Saloni added that the real-life inspiration behind the story made her connection to Megha even more personal. “The character steps into a world that many don’t fully understand, especially when dealing with seances and the unseen. Knowing that the story is grounded in real events made my performance layered and meaningful. It wasn’t just about portraying a character — it was about honouring someone’s lived experience.”
Discussing her on-screen chemistry with Karan Tacker, she shared, “Working with Karan felt very natural. He’s completely present as an actor, which allows for truthful responses. We spent time exploring not just what our characters say, but what they feel internally. The trust and comfort off-screen reflected directly on-screen, enhancing the authenticity of our performances.”
Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery is available to stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player across multiple platforms, including the MX Player app, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream.
