On the sets of Mystery man Irrfan

Producer and presenter Siddarth Kak: The show conveys the intrigues of Indian culture in an entertaining way. Mano Ya Na Mano (Star One) unearths India’s mysteries.

Irrfan Khan: I was intrigued by the stories that were related to me. The credibility that is associated with Siddarth convinced me to anchor the show. Today we have lost the joy of hearing stories. The show fulfils this need.
