Amidst a plethora of content being released, stories inspired from real lives leave an indelible mark in the minds of viewers. Amazon miniTV recently launched a show, Physics Wallah inspired on the life and journey of Alakh Pandey, popularly known as the Edtech Guru or Physics Wallah. The series received a phenomenal response from students and viewers for the touching narrative, array of emotions, character portrayal, and the motivation that drives in with every episode.

Witnessing the audience’s response, Alakh Pandey said, “Ek feeling hoti hai: ‘mai gareeb paida hua, mai gareeb marega’, ye story is cheez ko deny karti hai. Ho sakta hai tu gareeb paida hua hai par apne maan mai asha rakh, apne maan mai thaan le, bacchon ko is tarah se inspire kar sakhi hai ye series that you should be disciplined, you should be mad about whatever you want and rest not until you have it.
