Actor Kunal Kapoor has expressed immense gratitude for receiving much love for his performance as Lord Indra in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana'.

In an X post, Kapoor wrote, "Indra. Phra In. Batara Indra. Thagyamin. Preah En. Taishakuten. One king of the heavens, known by different names across many lands. Its incredible how much we have in common. Ive been overwhelmed by the love pouring in for Lord Indra from India, from Thailand and across Southeast Asia, and from so many corners of the world I never expected to hear from."

Expressing his gratitude, Kunal reflected on the power of storytelling and how epics like the Ramayana transcend geographical and cultural boundaries. "Ive always believed good stories have a way of connecting us all, and our cultures share more of them than we realise. It means the world to see a timeless epic like the Ramayana find so much love, everywhere," he added.

Kunal also took a moment to acknowledge the artists who have been creating illustrations and artwork inspired by his portrayal of Lord Indra. Thanking them for their creativity and affection, he wrote, "And to all the wonderful artists who have created such beautiful art, and continue to do so, thank you so much. Im sorry I dont know each of your handles, but Ive seen your work and it means a lot."
