Kanwaljit Singh Walia has been appearing in small but vital roles in a series of big-budget films and web series in recent years. However, it is Arati Kadav’s film, Mrs, in which we saw him in a major role; as expected, he was trending all over the internet. The veteran actor played the character of a patriarchal father-in-law (Diwakar’s father) in Mrs that also features Sanya Malhotra (Richa Sharma) and Nishant Dahiya (Diwakar Kumar). The movie is centred around the toxicity in most Indian marriages due to the existence of emotional violence, patriarchal conditioning, and misogynistic men.
Mrs premiered on Zee5 on February 7, 2025, and it has registered the biggest opening on the streaming platform. Not only this, Mrs is also currently the most searched movie of 2025 on Google. Returning to the film’s second lead, Kanwaljit Singh portrayed the character of Sanya Malhotra’s father-in-law, and he played it so well that people started hating him on social media. The iconic actor received several comments on his Instagram posts, in which people shared how they hated his character so much because it was so real. They also lauded him for his brilliant performance in Mrs.
