Whoever thought of casting Vir Das as an unhinged sellout nut job cartoon of a TV news anchor in Call Me Bae will forever have my respect.

#VihaanSamat delivered a fresh performance in #CallMeBae. The way he winks in a funny scene in the first episode (a reference to a video in real life) is memorable... pic.twitter.com/sy5e3g0qLW

Call Me Bae's hilarious tribute to Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani
In the very first episode, we see Bae's family prepping her to marry Agastya (played by Vihaan Samat), the heir to a business empire, who could potentially rescue Bae's family from financial ruin. Everything about Ananya’s character is shaped to match Agastya perfectly—from her wardrobe and wine preferences to her hobbies. She’s even sent abroad to study, all to cement her future with Agastya. And it works. We see Agastya propose to Bae.
Now, here’s what really caught our attention. The show gives us a peek into Bae and Agastya's wedding, and it all feels eerily familiar. It looks like the creators were inspired by Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani’s viral wedding video. The scene of Bae pulling off Kiara’s signature hand gesture, followed by Agastya’s mirror of Sidharth’s time-check move, is practically a frame-by-frame reenactment. Even their bow to each other with folded hands at the mandap was a direct nod to the real-life Bollywood couple.
