Nidhi Singh who is gearing up for season two of Permanent Roommate's audio show recently talked to Filmibeat about how OTT has changed and what the show brought to her since its original release in 2014. The actress revealed that the fame hasn't changed her as much as the surrounding has. She said, "The world is changing drastically but I am exactly the same person, all I am trying to do is match up. So I am just trying to do right by the person I am supposed to be."
Talking about Permanent Roommates she told Filmibeat, "When I got Permanent Roommates, I loved the story so much, but I couldn't have imagined people will love it that much, and that a series on Youtube would have that big of an impact on people."
Here is an excerpt from the interview,
Nidhi
Singh,
you
have
had
quite
the
journey
from
being
a
science
student
to
becoming
the
face
of
every
Delhi
girl!
How
has
the
experience
been?
Has
the
fame
and
familiarity
brought
any
major
changes
in
your
life?
I
don't
think
I
look
at
it
as
something
that
has
changed
but
it
has
instilled
a
lot
of
responsibility
in
me.
I
feel
the
more
people
become
familiar
with
me,
I
have
to
put
more
of
myself
out
there.
As
artists,
we
want
to
explore
but
we
also
want
to
take
the
time
for
ourselves.
During
the
pandemic,
everything
has
changed
and
now
everyone
is
always
available
on
social
media
and
that
level
of
presence
is
expected
out
of
you.
Now
when
things
are
opening
up
and
you
are
also
expected
to
be
on
set,
it
has
piled
on.
You
also
have
a
responsibility
as
an
individual,
and
you
have
your
life
to
take
care
of.
Sometimes
it
becomes
a
lot
and
you
want
to
take
a
step
back.
The
world
is
changing
drastically
but
I
am
exactly
the
same
person,
all
I
am
trying
to
do
is
match
up.
So
I
am
just
trying
to
do
right
by
the
person
I
am
supposed
to
be.
Talking
about
your
show,
Permanent
Roommates,
when
looking
back
what
do
you
think
was
the
best
part
about
it?
I
was
just
excited
to
play
a
character
in
a
long
format.
I
started
my
journey
behind
the
camera
and
at
that
point,
everyone
still
looked
at
me
as
an
assistant
director.
I
had
worked
in
a
couple
of
ads
and
sketches
but
people
hadn't
gotten
a
chance
to
see
me
a
long
format.
When
I
got
Permanent
Roommates,
I
loved
the
story
so
much,
but
I
couldn't
have
imagined
people
will
love
it
that
much,
and
that
a
series
on
Youtube
would
have
that
big
of
an
impact
on
people.
You
have
been
around
for
a
while,
and
while
Permanent
Roommates
is
considered
a
web
series,
it
was
around
even
before
OTT
had
become
a
norm?
Now
that
OTT
has
become
a
huge
industry
in
itself,
does
it
bring
some
sort
of
validation?
The
brilliant
mind
behind
our
work,
the
showrunners
are
responsible
for
the
success.
The
one
smart
thing
I
did
was
I
followed
them,
I
knew
they
were
on
to
something
interesting.
Big
props
to
Aruna
and
TVF.
They
were
so
well
versed
with
what
is
around
them,
not
only
in
the
country
but
how
content
is
evolving,
five
years
ago.
Even
with
all
the
limitations,
we
had
to
face,
in
terms
of
budget
and
everything,
they
were
hell-bent
on
making
the
show
happen.
Over
time
as
bigger
filmmakers
started
working
on
different
platforms,
it
gave
OTT
world
that
validation.
It
has
become
a
big
business
now
and
is
opening
so
many
avenues
for
others
and
now
audible
has
come
along
with
the
audio
show
and
now
we
have
a
podcast
show
of
Permanent
Roommates.
We
couldn't
have
thought
of
this
at
that
time.
How
as
the
past
two
years
treated
you,
have
you
been
catching
up
on
content
like
the
rest
of
the
world,
or
have
you
been
reading
through
new
projects?
I
have
a
couple
of
things
in
the
pipeline
but
all
timelines
have
shifted
because
of
how
the
world
is
changing.
I
do
feel
that
I
have
evolved
as
a
person
and
got
back
in
touch
with
real
life.
As
artists,
we
kinda
live
in
our
head,
and
in
a
bubble
of
sorts
but
you
have
to
participate
in
real
life
so
that
ended
up
happening.
I
was
working
before
the
lockdown
happened
and
promoted
the
audio
show
and
then
during
the
lockdown,
it
received
a
positive
response
because
everyone
was
trying
new
things
and
needed
some
noise
in
the
background
so
podcasts
became
a
huge
deal
and
we
were
called
back
for
season
two
of
Permanent
Roommates.
Overall,
the
past
two
years
have
changed
the
world
a
lot
but
I
really
do
want
people
to
remember
the
why
and
how.
It
was
inconvenient
but
it
was
essential
and
important
and
you
have
to
do
things
not
only
for
your
safety
but
for
others
as
well.
I
don't
want
to
look
back
at
it
as
something
that
was
inconvenient.
You
have
a
few
pending
Bollywood
releases
as
well.
Can
you
share
something
about
the
projects
and
when
can
fans
expect
to
find
out
about
their
release
dates?
There
will
be
releases
soon
enough
but
since
timelines
have
been
affected
so
much,
it's
hard
to
say
anything
at
the
moment.
It's
not
too
far
and
people
have
been
working
hard
behind
the
scenes.
