Pankaj Tripathi: I wouldn’t have had to wait 47 years if OTT had existed earlier

The inaugural event of OTTplay Premium in Mumbai on Thursday attracted a slew of celebrities from Bollywood, television, and streaming platforms. Pankaj Tripathi was one of them, and he spoke at length about the importance of OTT in his life and work.

“With the arrival of OTT, the tales have begun to alter,” he remarked, referring to how OTT is finally getting the recognition it deserves. People used to think of OTT as just another television when it first came to India, but now we realise it has incredible reach.”

“Had OTT existed earlier in my profession, I would have advanced much faster in my job and wouldn’t have had to wait 47 years,” he added. With OTT, viewers are more engrossed in side plots and subplots because they have more time. The supporting actors are also given due credit because they are given sufficient screen time. The competition for actors has obviously dwindled. There is only one stipulation here, and that is that you must know how to act.”

“In film, it is not required that if it is earring properly, it is good content,” he remarked, comparing the platform to a cinema experience. If your work is good, though, it will generate word-of-mouth on its own. The platform’s employees know which scene of whatever episode has received the most attention. OTT, I believe, will allow for a lot of experimentation.”

After Heeramandi, Sonakshi Sinha says she apologised to Manisha Koirala, asking, “How have I done this?” I love you so much, Kaha se aayi.

After seeing Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, actor Sonakshi Sinha said she apologised to co-star Manisha Koirala. Sonakshi revealed in an interview with Instant Bollywood if she attempted to be in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “good books” while filming the web series.

Sonakshi gives Manisha an explanation for her apology.

Sonakshi Sinha remarked, “I love her,” when discussing her friendship with Manisha. Once I saw the full series, I apologised to her! How have I accomplished this, I wondered? How dare I? Meri ye majaal kaha se aayi! She is fantastic, and that is the allure of having a talented performer like her in front of you—they inspire you to do better. This is Manisha Koirala, a talented artist whose work we have grown up admiring. I reasoned that because I was in front of her, I should act well. You are really enjoying your banter with each other; it is such a delight. Working with Manisha ma’am was enjoyable.

Sonakshi discusses Bhansali.

During the show’s production, Sonakshi discussed her connection with Bhansali, saying, “I didn’t really try (to be in his good books).” Since dad is an artist himself, I understood that doing my work well or producing good work is the only thing that will ever impress him. That’s precisely what took place. I had told him not to film too many of my sequences, but when he finished one, he kept returning. On set, we had a lovely relationship where I didn’t have to try too hard because I knew that if I placed too much pressure on myself, I would screw it up. I gave it everything I had and tried my hardest. He recognised and valued that.”

Sonakshi is playing two parts in Heeramandi.

Sonakshi is receiving accolades for her performance as the bitter Fareedan in Bhansali’s drama about courtesans set in Lahore before to the Partition. In the eight-part Netflix series, she played two distinct roles: that of mother Rehanna and daughter Fareedan. The series explores the cultural realities of Heeramandi in great detail via the tales of courtesans and their customers. The series stars Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha.
