have been a new source of employment for the entertainment industry, says actor Radhika Apte, who believes the digital space is a medium that can thrive under the freedom of expression. Apte, whose series "Sacred Games", "Ghoul" and films "Lust Stories" and "Raat Akeli Hai" have released on the streaming service Netflix, said it is "terrifying" that the over-the-top (OTT) platforms are facing government scrutiny.

"I hope we understand that there has to be freedom of expression and people need to be far more tolerant about the fact that there will be disagreement in life, that is the way of life. I find it terrifying and sad that this is where we are headed," Apte told PTI in an interview when asked to comment on the intervention of the authorities in the OTT space.
