Tharki Buddha -2025- Uncut Neonx Originals Shor... Instant

Pushkar Dutt, the 67-year-old actor, handled the criticism with grace: “If you watch the show, you realize the title is clickbait. The Buddha isn’t tharki. The world is tharki.

Created by the notoriously anonymous writer-director duo under the NeonX Originals banner, the character first appeared in a 2024 micro-series titled Dilli Darzi .
