I am not a film buff. I watch a movie or a TV series only if someone insists; otherwise, I would much rather spend my free time reading books, magazines, or newspapers. That is why I had never explored OTT platforms until this Sunday, when I came down with a fever and was advised to stay at home. As I was not feeling well and had nothing else to do, I decided to browse a few OTT platforms. To my surprise, I was instantly hooked. I discovered an impressive collection of Bollywood films and web series, many of which were highly entertaining. Before I knew it, I had spent hours watching them. Although I still enjoy reading far more than watching movies, I must admit that OTT platforms have changed my perception. They offer a vast selection of quality entertainment, and I have begun to appreciate them. No wonder, many Bollywood stars like Madhuri Dixit, Manoj Bajpai, Pankaj Tripathi, Saif Ali Khan, Neena Gupta and others are embracing OTT platforms.
