Actor Nidhi Shah, known for her portrayal of Kinjal on Anupamaa, gears up for her OTT debut, excited and nervous about breaking free from her iconic character. She describes her transition from TV to web as both exciting and long-awaited, hoping audiences see her more as Nidhi and not just as Kinjal.
After carefully considering her decision to enter the OTT space, Nidhi took time to choose her next project, working on herself through workshops, dance classes, and unlearning TV habits to adapt to OTT's subtler performance style.
The story and relatability of her character in Sapne Vs Everyone drew her in, offering a chance to explore a different side of herself as an actor. Nidhi sees this as a significant learning curve, allowing her to break free from the strong association audiences have with Kinjal and establish herself as more than just that character.
She had to say no to roles similar to Kinjal to take on new challenges and get out of her comfort zone, aiming to work across mediums and test herself with different characters and scripts.
