Ali Fazal points out that self-isolation comes naturally to actors when they are preparing for intense roles. "But when it's involuntary, you get desperate for human contact," argues the actor, who has been confined to his Bandra home since March 12. It is obvious then that he has watched more than his fair share of shows in the interim. "I've finished off [everything on] Netflix," he declares, as we prod him on his binge-list. "I loved the Spanish sci-fi film, The Platform. The Occupant is another Spanish thriller that bowled me over. I also discovered the lovely Brazilian film, Bacurau."

For now, he is devouring The Good Fight on Amazon Prime. "It's a cerebral show that will be enjoyed by anyone who has interest in lawsuits. Better Call Saul is on my permanent binge-list."
