Actor Aanchal G Singgh, who has been getting a positive response for her character’s emotional growth in the second season of Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein (YKKA), feels that OTT has been a game changer in terms of blending genres that can otherwise restrict a project.
“On digital, be it web series or short film, the audience gets to see something different. So, it’s beneficial for both artistes and audiences. But, cinema has a different perspective and even if you try to do anything different on the big screen, woh bolte hain ki ‘Commercial nahin, art cinema hai’,” the 32-year-old shares.
She continues, “On OTT, ab art house aur commercial — sab dilute ho gaya hai (for good). People are [more] interested in storytelling. So now it’s more about, ‘I want to watch this person’s story’, and not, ‘I want to see this celeb on screen.’ So, I feel that is very important.”

Talking about her future plans, she shares, “I have been focused on YKKA season 2 for a very long time and I had to wait for a long time for it to release. So, it took a lot of patience. But now I am going to sit down and decide [future projects]. There are interesting things that are happening, but I haven’t said yes to anything.”
