Riddhi Kumar on her co-actor Vipul Gupta in Hack Crimes Online, says ‘He was always there to teach and support us’

Mumbai, November 22, 2023: Amazon miniTV - Amazon's free video streaming service, recently released crime thriller series, ‘Hack Crimes Online’ is being lauded for its gripping narrative which unfolds the suspenseful chase between cunning cybercriminals and detectives. Based on a novel by India's acclaimed cyber-crime investigator, Amit Dubey, the story takes place in the backdrop of the bustling city of Mumbai and draws light on the perilous world of cybercrime. Starring Vipul Gupta and Riddhi Kumar in lead roles, the series is streaming on Amazon miniTV for free.

While getting candid about her bond with the team, Riddhi talked about her co-actor Vipul Gupta, and how he was a constant guide and support for her throughout this journey. She expressed, “I think Vipul just like his character is a very strong-willed, empathetic, and a soft person. In the series, he plays ACP Ashutosh, a mentor who is very calm and constantly works to improve himself and the people around him. Working with him was a wonderful experience because he is much more senior but he never made me feel like a subject of comparison. He was always there to teach and support us, we used to do our lines together before the scenes and have our lunch or dinner together whenever possible. He was available to discuss, share, and put his input into the scenes to create a better version.”

Adding to this she further shared her experience of working with Amazon miniTV and Friday Storytellers. “My experience with Friday Storytellers was amazing and so was with Amazon miniTV. Specifically when it came to promotional activities, getting affiliated with Amazon miniTV was great, as I liked the way they have taken up their promotional campaign, especially in terms of getting hacked. When it comes to Friday storytellers, I was looking forward to working with them. As an actor, you always have a list of people you admire and want to collaborate with and they were definitely on my list. When I got to know that I had to audition for a show for them, I was very excited. They always come up with different types of content that are relatable, educational, and at the same time very inspiring. Our show talks about crime, ranging from teenage bullying, and drugs to terrorism and bank scams, along with our finale which is about national security,” she shared.
