Ishwak Singh: It felt like the emotions were already built into it

Amazon MX Player’s Mitti is an emotionally layered rural drama that quietly tugs at themes of legacy, identity, and coming home. The series follows Raghav, played by Ishwak Singh, a successful advertising executive who returns to his ancestral village after his grandfather’s death. What begins as a trip for last rites slowly turns into a personal reckoning— with grief, buried guilt, ambition, and questions around what truly defines success.

Boasting a stellar cast featuring Shruti Sharma, Alka Amin, Diksha Juneja, and Yogendra Tiku alongside Ishwak Singh, the show has been praised for its grounded performances and authentic storytelling.

For Ishwak Singh, stepping into Raghav’s world felt instinctive. “The script was so beautiful, it felt like the emotions were already built into it. Grief, guilt, nostalgia, and ambition — it was all there, mapped out in such a grounded way that once I tuned in, everything flowed. A lot of credit goes to Nikhil Sachan for creating such an honest, organic screenplay. His writing gave each relationship depth without drama—whether it was Raghav’s tension with his past, his bond with Kratika, or even the everyday friction with family. No one felt like a cliché. Everyone had a reason, even in disagreement. That’s what made it real.”

Step into the whirlwind of emotions as Mitti is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player, available on mobile, Fire TV, Prime Video, the Amazon shopping app, Connected TVs, and Airtel Xstream.
