Jun 11, 2026“Many people don’t know that my sister is my biggest critic. It’s really hard to receive appreciation or appraisal from her since childhood because she is highly honest and straightforward when it comes to me and my life and I feel so blessed about it. She hasn’t given me any fake compliments or praises but always explained to me where I can improve and learn. So she complimented this time without rectifying an error. She told me that you have grown up to be a very mature actor and you are doing an amazing job this time,” she shares.
There is much talk around how TV and OTT are two different mediums. Regarding the perception value for actors, according to Aradhana, there are indeed some differences between TV and OTT.
“OTT platforms often provide more creative freedom and opportunities for actors to explore unconventional roles and narratives. These platforms are known for producing content that can be edgier, more diverse, and less constrained by traditional broadcasting standards and censorship, which can lead to a broader range of roles for actors. This can enhance an actor's reputation and expand their acting portfolio. However, it's important to note that both TV and OTT have their own merits and challenges. TV still offers wide viewership and established networks, which can provide actors with significant exposure. Additionally, perceptions of actors can be influenced by the quality of the content and the role they play, regardless of the platform. So, while OTT platforms can certainly create a different perception value for actors, the impact depends on various factors, including the specific projects and roles they choose, the quality of the content, and the reception from audiences and critics,” she adds.
