Stories about the paranormal often promise fear. But rarely do they suggest that fear may have crossed over from script to set. That unsettling possibility has now surrounded Amazon MX Player’s new supernatural thriller series, Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery, after a leaked voice note, allegedly recorded by lead actor Karan Tacker, began doing the rounds on social media. The audio, which describes unexplained incidents experienced during the shoot of the series, has quickly sparked a fresh wave of curiosity and conspiracy online, blurring the line between on-screen horror and off-screen reality.
In the voice note, seemingly meant as a private message, Karan Tacker, who plays India’s first paranormal investigator Gaurav Tiwari in the series, is heard recounting creepy moments from the sets, including an incident that took place while filming at Gaurav Tiwari’s actual home. He speaks about sudden movements caught on camera, unexplained shadows, and an overwhelming heaviness felt by the crew, incidents that reportedly left even seasoned professionals shaken. The voice note goes on to describe more such baffling incidents, from phones draining to zero battery at the same time to strange sounds echoing through empty rooms. What began as a private message soon found its way online, shared widely with captions hinting at “real paranormal activity” during the making of the show.
As the chatter gained momentum, curiosity around Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery intensified, with fans and viewers speculating whether the experiences described were mere coincidences or something far more unsettling. But that’s not all! The conversation took another turn when Kalki Koechlin playing Irene Venkat, addressed the buzz and acknowledged that the incidents mentioned in the voice note were real, sharing her experiences from the shoot. Their confirmation only added fuel to the growing intrigue, making the series feel even more chilling for viewers.
Inspired by real events and documented cases investigated by India’s first paranormal investigator, Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery follows the life and work of Gaurav Tiwari, portrayed by Karan Tacker, and the questions surrounding his mysterious death. With its grounded, gritty approach to the paranormal, the series builds fear through realism by revealing Gaurav’s motivations, choices, and the ripple effects of the life he lived. Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery is now available to stream for free on Amazon MX Player via the MX Player app, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, Smart TVs, and Airtel Xstream.
