Kajol on the advent of OTT
While conversing with Pinkvilla, Kajol mentioned that back in the ‘90s theatres were the only medium of entertainment, which made it much easier for films to be successful at the box office. When asked her opinion on the advent of OTT, the actress replied that it has given actors the opportunity to showcase their talents and capabilities.
Kajol said, “Actually, right now it's a fabulous time for actors all over, because they're getting so much exposure. Everybody has so much work and I love the fact that OTT has brought out some fabulous actors, you know. You have people who are genuinely fabulous actors getting a stage and being able to show exactly what they are capable of, and becoming stars in their own right despite the fact that they don't have a 24 inches waistline and a 36 inches chest or a 46 inches chest.”
