Kirti Kulhari: OTT a safer option now

Actress Kirti Kulhari has wowed the audience with her work on the digital platform including “Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors”, “Bard Of Blood” and “Four More Shots Please!” She was recently seen in the digitally-released film “Shaadisthan”. She says the OTT space has emerged a safer option for everyone.

“Theatres are very less of an option right now. People are not considering (visiting theatres). Producers and distributors themselves are not considering doing theatre (release) because there is so much at risk. The world is in such a transit right now that it can really be a huge loss if the theatre thing does not work,” Kirti told an interview.

“OTT has become a safer option now and a great option because you get to do what you love doing, which is acting, and people get to see you, and you get to do something substantial without the burden of whether a film would run at the box-office or not,” she added.

The 38-year-old actress further said: “You just want to do your thing because you want to, and people watch it because they want to. I think everyone kind of gains from this kind of arrangement at the moment.”

Kirti is now gearing up for the medical thriller web series “Human”.

Mimoh Chakraborty takes up mixed martial arts to stay fit

Actor Mimoh Chakraborty, son of veteran star Mithun Chakraborty, has taken to mixed martial arts and crossfit to stay in shape.

“I love the endless possibilities that mixed martial arts bring. It amalgamates fitness, fights, and discipline in the best possible manner. It’s pure heart and art. I love Bruce Lee not just for what he had done for action movies but also for his life disciplines and values,” said Mimoh.

He added: “Mixed martial arts developed as a discipline a couple of decades ago and Bruce Lee’s style in martial arts can be hugely considered for that. One could imbibe them and become the best at what she or he does.”

Mimoh said crossfit is another challenging form that’s been a part of his regime for long.

“It makes me feel so different post a session. It pushed my body to the absolute limit and beyond. I think we all should imbibe a fitness form and a sport into our lives. There is really nothing like them,” he said.
