Anya
Singh
is
currently
riding
high
on
the
success
of
her
ZEE5
comedy
series,
Kaun
Banegi
Shikharwati.
The
actress
in
an
honest
chat
with
Filmibeat
spoke
about
the
many
doors
that
the
OTT
era
has
opened
for
the
talents
in
the
entertainment
industry.
Anya
was
especially
all
praises
for
female
writers
who
have
been
producing
some
quality
work
in
the
movies
and
series
of
today.
The
actress
stated
that
women
write
women
characters
especially
well
praising
the
writer
of
her
own
show,
Ananya
Banerjee.
Talking
about
the
same,
Anya
Singh
said,
"My
writer
in
the
show
Kaun
Banegi
Shikharwati
is
also
a
woman
(Ananya
Banerjee)
and
I
think
a
lot
more
people
especially
women
are
getting
a
lot
of
opportunities.
And
I
think
women
write
women
very
well
like
in
Kaun
Banegi
Shikharwati,
we
were
all
written
as
very
flawed
characters.
Instead
of
portraying
women
as
extremely
righteous
and
as
someone
who
always
knows
what
to
do,
here
we
were
playing
women
who
are
clueless
so
definitely
OTT
has
given
a
lot
of
people
the
opportunity
to
experiment
and
present
the
characters
in
a
more
real
believable
manner.
Also
for
artists,
it
has
brought
more
fun
because
you
know,
the
characters
are
more
grey
and
layered
as
opposed
to
vanilla
and
white."
The
Velle
actress
furthermore
spoke
about
the
boom
of
the
OTT
sphere.
Anya
Singh
added,
"You
know
luckily
my
first
OTT
show,
Never
Kiss
Your
Best
Friend
released
just
before
the
pandemic
and
I
had
then
begun
to
realise
how
creatively
satisfying
it
felt
before
a
lot
of
people
started
doing
OTT.
What
I
realised
was
that
as
an
actor,
you
get
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
your
character
and
not
only
you,
even
your
audience
gets
to
connect
with
your
character.
You
know
OTT
or
short
films,
they
are
not
only
giving
a
lot
of
chances
to
actors
but
also
to
the
writers
and
the
other
creative
team.
Because
there
is
no
number
attached,
there
are
far
more
risks
that
people
are
taking
in
this
medium.
They're
much
more
experimental
with
the
kind
of
content
that
they're
creating
and
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
realisation
that
your
audience
wants
to
watch
good
and
sensible
content.
As
the
audience
has
made
that
switch,
we
as
the
people
who
are
supplying
content
to
them,
have
also
made
that
switch."
Talking
about
Kaun
Banegi
Shikharwati,
the
show
also
stars
Naseeruddin
Shah,
Raghubir
Yadav,
Lara
Dutta,
Soha
Ali
Khan
and
Kritika
Kamra
in
the
lead
roles.
The
show
has
been
helmed
by
Gauravv
K
Chawla
and
Ananya
Banerjee.
The
plot
revolves
around
a
dysfunctional
family
drama
about
an
eccentric
king
and
his
four
warring
daughters.
