Stereotyping is unfair, says actress Abigail Pande

Actress Abigail Pande, who plays the role of Anushka in the web series Dhappa, says that OTT has changed a lot in showbiz. The actress says that not only for members of the fraternity but even for viewers, OTT has opened up a lot more genres and opportunities. She shares, “OTT obviously has been one of the best developments in entertainment. It has just given you a lot of scope and opened up different worlds of entertainment.”

However, Abigail says that there is a dire need for people to stop stereotyping TV actors, and, this, in turn, will lead to a healthy amalgamation between platforms. “I think it is difficult to get into OTT for a TV actor. I think we are really stereotyped and it’s kind of unfair because for every platform, be it theatre, be it TV or films or web series, different sort of acting is needed. So, you can’t really blame someone for acting in a particular way. A good actor will always know how to perform according to the platform he or she is performing in,” concludes the actress.
