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." https://x.com/kapoorkkunal/status/2121820063435264175 Expressing his gratitude, Kunal reflected on the power of storytelling and how epics like the Ramayana transcend geographical and cultural boundaries.
