India, Dec. 6 -- For Kunal Roy Kapur, OTT allows for intimate, grounded stories, where audiences no longer "need loud, hyper-stylised drama" to stay engaged. "People connect with simple, truthful stories. It doesn't always have to be about blood, gore, or drug cartels-a show can simply make you pause and think," actor says. "That's exactly where OTT storytelling stands today-capturing the micro-realities of modern life." Despite his steady body of work, Kunal feels he still can't say "no". "OTT has boomed, no doubt about that, but has it reached its saturation point? I can't really say that for me," says the 47-year-old. Adding, "Sometimes you have the luxury of choice-sometimes you don't. I don't always have the liberty to say no." He elaborates, "If I set very high standards-like only working with top directors or producers-I wouldn't get enough work. I have to pick from what's around me." For him, the motivation isn't visibility but continuity, "It's not about being seen. It's about working. If this is your primary job, you need to keep working." Kunal's recent series Thode Door Thode Paas, opposite Mona Singh and Pankaj Kapur, revolves around digital detox. He notes that today, social media presence heavily shapes opportunities for newcomers-a contrast to the days of theatre scouting. "Earlier, people used to go to theatres-Prithvi, NCPA-watch young actors and say, 'Hey, this actor is good, maybe I can use him.' The casting pipeline has been overtaken by Instagram," he ends....
