Senior actor Supriya Pathak has been shooting non-stop. She has quite a few releases lined up in 2021 and her last release Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi (2020) also garnered a good response.

With good projects taking centre stage in the industry, Pathak is also happy with the OTT boom. “Streaming platforms are great and I hope we use it well. When TV came, it was a great medium and then daily soaps came in and ruined the quality of the work we were doing. I found it regressive and I was upset about it. The medium got messed up. OTT has opened up and I hope we don’t do the same,” she says.

Pathak adds that shows in India have become repetitive. “I have seen shows from other countries and they have such variety. But from India, I often see similar content which scares me. Every other show is crime-based or about twisted relationships and we are not steering away from them. I love thrillers but it doesn’t have to be negative or dark. We seem to be stuck with gangsters or political driven shows. Humare country mein kya sirf yahi hai?” she asks.
