“What a nostalgic feeling. And such a real depiction of what happens in the UPSC building during an interview. Been there three times like this!” wrote Kaswan while sharing the video on X.
The video shows Vikrant Massey’s character, Manoj Kumar Sharma, entering the UPSC building to appear for the interview round. As he sits in the waiting area with other candidates, he becomes increasingly anxious.

Kaswan, in another tweet, shared, “Except nobody dropped us like this, at the entrance there is a line of candidates, and before interview board calls, you need to sit outside the board room also for a few minutes.” He also shared that he was on the final list twice.
