Sacred Games is remembered for crime, politics, and Ganesh Gaitonde’s legendary presence, but characters like Bunty gave the series some of its most unexpectedly entertaining and funny moments. Played by Jatin Sarna, Bunty starts as Gaitonde’s loyal right-hand man and quickly became a fan favourite because of his innocence, awkward confidence, and unintentionally hilarious interactions inside a world filled with violence and tension. His expressions, timing, loyalty, and the way he reacts to Gaitonde’s larger-than-life personality created moments of relief that balanced the intensity of the show without breaking its dark atmosphere.
What made Bunty so memorable was that his humour never felt forced — it came naturally from the character’s simplicity, misunderstandings, and complete dedication to Gaitonde. Many of his scenes became internet favourites because audiences loved how he could make viewers laugh and feel emotional at the same time. While Sacred Games became iconic because of performances by Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Pankaj Tripathi, Radhika Apte, Kubbra Sait and others, Bunty quietly became one of the show’s most lovable characters. Even today, his funny scenes remain some of the most rewatchable moments in one of Netflix India’s greatest series.
