Drashti Dhami
Drashti Dhami was a household name when she decided to cut back on her television outings in favour of digital entertainment. The actor forayed into the web world with Nikkhil Advani’s grand period drama, `The Empire` (2021). Over a year on, she is ready with her next, ZEE5’s `Duranga`, an adaptation of the Korean show, `Flower of Evil`. As she takes baby steps in the OTT world, Dhami discusses how television will always be home to her, and how she is intent on not repeating herself on the web.
Edited excerpts from the interview.
Did you have any inhibitions about joining digital entertainment?
It happened quite organically for me. I wasn’t shying away from television. I wanted to do something different [that offers] better content. That is how `The Empire` came my way. Immediately after that, I got `Duranga`. [Taking the show up] was a no-brainer. Anybody in my shoes would have said yes to the project because it has Pradeep Sarkar helming it. It was a little difficult to underplay the role. Subtlety is tough given the background I come from. I was [apprehensive] whether I would be able to pull it off or not. I am a director’s actor. After every shot, I would look at him to see whether he is satisfied or not.
