Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma became big stars because of OTT, says Dil Se actress Mita Vashisht

As a seasoned lifestyle expert with decades of experience in the entertainment industry, I have witnessed the dynamic transformation of the Indian film and television landscape over the years. The emergence of Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we consume content and provided unprecedented opportunities for artists who were once confined to the periphery of mainstream stardom.


1. Actress Mita Vashisht initially made her mark in the 1989 movie ‘Chandni’, starring alongside Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor. Throughout her career, she has taken on diverse roles. Some of her notable films include ‘Dil Se’, ‘Ghulam’, and ‘Taal’.

Recently, the actress shared insights on how the rise of Over-The-Top (OTT) media has given new acting prospects to individuals outside the limelight and those working in television.

In a recent chat with Lallantop, actress Mita Vashisht mentioned that the OTT platform played a significant role in catapulting Jaideep Ahlawat to stardom following his appearance in the 2020 TV show, Paatal Lok.

Initially, Bollywood stars like Mita were cautious about venturing into streaming platforms such as OTT when it emerged in 2017. However, less established actors seized the chance and went on to achieve success.

In about three years, Jaideep Ahlawat made a significant mark on national television with his hit show “Pataal Lok.” This led to him becoming a well-known figure and a frequent topic of conversation in many homes, as stated by the actress.

Mita spoke about Radhika Apte, mentioning that her acting career took off incredibly fast. To those unfamiliar, Radhika has been featured in popular streaming shows such as Sacred Games, Ghoul, Ok Computer, and Made In Heaven – Season 2.

As an obsessed fan, I can’t help but share my excitement when I hear about up-and-coming actors who truly shine in their craft. In the very same interview, Mita mentioned Vijay Varma from Mirzapur as one such talent. She praised him for being a fantastic actor and credited the power of OTT platforms for bringing him the recognition and stardom he deserves.

1. Actress from Dil Se went on to say that with the rise of OTT platforms in India, many established actors have been drawn to this new format. Yet, she noted, not all the projects they undertake are successful.
