OTT platforms giving actors more opportunities: Miss India North

Amritsar, July 27

Amritsar-based actor and former Miss India North, Charu Kapoor, walked the ramp as showstopper for the Asian Fashion Tour held in Dehradun by a leading lifestyle channel. Charu is the daughter of playback singer Ramesh Kapoor and has featured in several Hindi and Punjabi films and theatre as well. Charu shared that she felt excited to be part of a show where young talent in fashion got the opportunity to showcase their work.

“It’s always fulfilling to be a part of something that gives opportunities to new talent. Indian designers and fashion industry have grown hugely and are set to go global with the kind of exposure we have for the next generation. I walked for Black Pearl, which was part of Asian Fashion tour event and had beautifully crafted clothes made by upcoming designers,” she said.

Charu Kapoor who was previously part of films like Irfan Khan’s ‘Qissa’, ‘RSVP’ and others, said she now feels that OTTs are giving actors more opportunities and space to co-exist. “Currently, I am part of a web series on Prime Video and my experience working for OTTs has taught me that there are ample opportunities for everyone. It has given me a chance to experiment and grow as an actor and prove my talent in various genres.”

She has also been juggling as an anchor and judge for several talent shows, which she considers are a bit different from being in front of camera. “It gets real while judging some one’s else’s talent and skill. So, it’s a bit tougher,” she said.
