Mumbai, April 7 Actress Kubbra Sait contributed to the ongoing debate about films versus OTT.
The actress, known for her role in 'Sacred Games', stated that viewers should have the freedom to choose. She added that if people can connect with a story, the medium in which it is presented becomes less important.
Kubbra emphasized that the key is how much an audience can emotionally invest in a story and its characters.
She was asked, "There's a debate about films versus OTT. What's your perspective?"
Kubbra responded by saying that she doesn't believe there's a clear winner or loser.
"These are simply different mediums—one long-form, one short-form," she said.
The actress, who starred in 'Farzi', continued, "Today, the audience has the freedom to choose. If a story resonates, it doesn't matter whether it's on a big screen or on a phone. Ultimately, it's about your emotional connection to the story and its characters."
During the conversation, Kubbra also shared her views on unrealistic body standards in the age of social media.
When asked, "Social media has created immense pressure on actors, especially regarding body standards. Do you think this pressure is becoming dangerous?", Kubbra said that we often blame the medium for our insecurities, whereas the real question is—why are we insecure in the first place?
"If you believe in yourself, no platform can make you feel insecure. I personally choose not to alter my appearance beyond basic fitness—that's my choice. But if someone else chooses differently, that's their decision," she shared.
"We need to stop judging others and focus on our own lives. Security or insecurity comes from within, not from social media," Kubbra added.
