In the video, Harman Baweja could be seen sitting at his office desk, where he humorously pleaded, "Oh God! Please! Let me silence my Hrithiks, I mean critics."

To emphasise his point, the actor presented old film reviews that criticised his acting during his early days. Pointing to a headline that read, 'I am Baweja not be-waja’, he confidently asserted, "Even they were wrong." He also showcased another article with the headline, "The future doesn’t look Roshan for him," referencing the constant comparisons made between him and Hrithik Roshan.

In a witty tone, Harman Baweja coined the term ‘Critic Roshans’ for his haters. He expressed his desire to start his second innings in acting, specifically referring to his role in the web series Scoop on Netflix.
