Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, who was recently seen in the streaming movie ‘Kakuda’, has said that the medium of OTT allows actors to explore their characters in depth.

She also got feted with the Best Actress award for her stellar performance in ‘Heeramandi’ recently at an awards function.
The actress said, "The fact that I’ve won this award two years in a row, first for Dahaad and now for Heeramandi, is truly humbling. It’s a testament to the kind of diverse and strong roles that the OTT space is now offering to actors. Each project gives me the chance to explore something new and push boundaries”.

I’ve received so much love for my work on both platforms, and I’m just grateful for it. It’s exciting to be part of this digital revolution where content is truly king”, she added.
The actress recently also shared her process for approaching her characters, she said, “I arrive on set, face the camera, and that's when the character comes alive for me. It's hard to explain, but having a strong imagination really helps”.
