Actor Sonali Bendre Sonali is all set to make her OTT debut with The Broken News series. She will play the role of journalist Amina Qureshi of Awaaz Bharati. As per reports in Hindustan Times, she recently spoke about OTT platforms saying that actors got a ‘second innings’ because of it.
In a new interview, she also said that due to OTT platforms, people in the film industry can’t keep a casual attitude anymore. Speaking with Film Companion, Sonali said, “I definitely want to be working now. I’m enjoying it so much. Now I’m no longer an accidental actor. I’m choosing to do this. Now I don’t have an excuse if I don’t get it right. When I did Sarfarosh with Aamir, I enjoyed it. I missed the opportunity to consciously learn from him during Sarfarosh.”
She also said, “If OTT platforms wouldn’t have come, we wouldn’t have got a second inning. That ‘chalta hai (casually saying it’s okay)’ attitude cannot last anymore and I think that’s the best thing that has happened to our industry.” Sonali also spoke about surviving cancer. She said that ‘having a scar, losing my hair’ helped her appreciate that ‘beauty is never perfect’.
