When you think of Nakuul Mehta, the first image that comes to mind is the charming television star who has ruled Indian households with shows like Ishqbaaz and Pyaar Ka Dard Hai. But with Amazon Prime Video’s Do You Wanna Partner, Nakuul takes a bold leap into the world of OTT storytelling. And this time, he’s not just a lover boy he’s Bobby Bagga, a passionate brewmaster and single father from East Delhi.
Bobby isn’t just a supporting character; he’s the beating heart of the story, the man whose technical expertise and emotional depth give wings to Shikha (Tamannaah Bhatia) and Anahita’s (Diana Penty) startup dream.
Bobby Bagga: The Brewmaster with a Golden Touch
In Do You Wanna Partner, Bobby Bagga is more than a brewer. He is the bridge between tradition and modernity the one who unlocks the secret to Shikha’s late father’s legendary beer recipe. Think unique Bengali flavors like Gondhoraj lebu and Kanakchur rice—ingredients that remind you of family kitchens and Sunday lunches, but reimagined in the modern craft beer scene.
As a single father balancing parental responsibilities with his passion, Bobby feels very real—like that uncle in your mohalla who knows his craft inside out but still makes time to drop his kid to school.
Nakuul Mehta’s Performance: Real, Relatable, Raw
Critics have praised Mehta’s sincerity and warmth in this role. He doesn’t overact; he lets Bobby breathe. Even though reviewers felt he deserved more screen time, audiences noticed the small touches—his hands moving confidently around brewing equipment, his quiet emotional connection with Shikha and Anahita, and his grounded presence amidst the chaos of startup life.

What really works is his chemistry with Tamannaah and Diana. He’s not just a colleague—he’s a mentor, a guide, and sometimes even the emotional anchor when things go south.
Behind the Scenes: Nakuul’s First Big OTT Leap
For Nakuul, this wasn’t just another role—it was his first big streaming project. He’s spoken about how working with Dharmatic Entertainment and Prime Video felt like a dream come true. Shooting in Delhi’s sweltering May heat wasn’t easy, but he admired the commitment of co-stars—like Tamannaah, who would hit the gym at 4 AM before 12-hour shoot days.
This role was tailor-made for him: a mix of technical precision (to explain brewing) and emotional resonance (as a single dad). His television experience gave him the perfect balance.
Why Bobby Bagga Matters in the Story
On paper, Bobby is “just the brewmaster.” But in reality, he is the unsung hero of the Jugaaro brand. Without his technical brilliance, Shikha and Anahita’s dream would remain just an idea.
And that’s why Bobby is so relatable—he’s like the everyday Indians who don’t hog the limelight but form the backbone of every startup, every dream.
Conclusion
Bobby Bagga may not be the “hero” in the traditional sense, but Nakuul Mehta makes him unforgettable. With his mix of technical smarts, emotional honesty, and everyday relatability, Bobby becomes the character you root for quietly, like a friend who always has your back.
For Nakuul, this is more than just a role—it’s a statement: he’s here to grow, evolve, and make a lasting mark in India’s booming OTT landscape. Aapke Sawal, Hamare Jawab! (FAQs)
