Lauding multiple OTT platforms, Bajpayee said that the various shows and films on them kept people away from all the anxiety and stress. It was the only medium that kept people entertained, because all the theatres were closed during lockdown last year. Manoj further said OTT is a big ocean from where people can choose what they want to watch.

The The Family Man actor further asserted that not only for audiences, but OTT has been a blessing for many actors as well.

"All those people who can do some worthwhile job have got the chance to showcase their ability. It is a one of a kind situation. I pray that this time of celebrating talent and quality does not go away. In our country we often see that talented people were getting almost no due. The OTT has become a miracle for many," said Bajpayee.
