Now, during an exclusive interaction with OTTPlay, the Khichdi actor was asked about the OTT boom in the past year. To which Supriya stated, "I think it's a fabulous medium, I have always believed it. Because of the lockdown, because of people having to stay at home and because there were no releases, there was no other entertainment due to lots of reasons. But to me, it was a very important medium from the beginning. It has a lot of potentials. It is also scary because we have a kind of follower mentality that if one thinks others will too. I hope we don't do that."
