Delnaaz Irani Speaks About Content Creation, Power Of Digital Storytelling And Open To Voice Acting

Delnaaz Irani, a name that has resonated with audiences since the '90s, has always been synonymous with laughter, warmth, and effortless charm. From her unforgettable roles in Kal Ho Naa Ho and Yes Boss to her powerful presence in theatre and reality television, she has showcased her versatility across every medium. Recently seen as Pam in The Archies (2023) and now captivating viewers as Harneet in Mannat - Har Khushi Paane Ki (2025), Delnaaz continues to evolve as an artist while staying rooted in her love for connecting with people through stories.

Talking about how the entertainment industry is one of its most evolving phases, Delnaz says, "It's an interesting phase for artists and overall content creating communities. There is room for every kind of content, thanks to multiple platforms and entertainment formats. We are no longer dependent on any one medium for consuming stories. Movies, theatre, television, video OTT to audio series - there are multiple options for audiences. It's a bigger playground of sorts for artists and content creators as well."

After having dabbled in movies, theatre and TV shows, the actor says she's open to voice acting as well. "There are many platforms such as Pocket FM, which are giving opportunities to voice over artists as well as writers, although I haven't thought of writing, my interest lies in acting, be it any medium and I am also interested in narrations and voice overs. For an artist, it's eventually the art of storytelling that matters."

For Delnaaz, storytelling is much more than entertainment-it's a way to connect with emotions, inspire and spark the imagination. "There's something timeless about the power of a good story. Whether it's through a book, a film, or even an audio storytelling, stories have this incredible ability to transport us, and enthrall us. Platforms like these are a testament to how storytelling continues to evolve in the most beautiful ways," she reflects.

As someone who has witnessed the entertainment industry grow and change over the years, Delnaaz marvels at how digital storytelling is a fresh way to connect with narratives. "It's fascinating to see how accessible storytelling has become. Whether it's through a podcast, a web series, or an audio drama, there's something for everyone. It's like the world of stories has opened up to meet us wherever we are," she adds thoughtfully.
