OTTplay Awards 2022: Satish Kaushik bags the award for Best Supporting Actor Male (Film) for Thar

This past year saw OTT content dominate the silver screen, as well as the hearts of many cinephiles throughout the country. The digital space broke barriers when it comes to the kind of content consumed across the country, with people binging on films and shows spanning genres and languages. The first ever pan India OTT Awards, the OTTplay Awards and Conclave 2022, celebrated the best of OTT content to hit the digital space this past year. The awards saw honours being bagged by a number of actors across industries of different languages. Satish Kaushik bagged a win for Best Supporting Actor Male (Film) for his role in Thar.

The award was presented by Vineet Kumar Singh, who gave a beautiful monologue about how good actors had qualities similar to water, seamlessly blending into their characters like the liquid. After Satish accepted the award, host Maniesh Paul touched the veteran actor’s feet. When Satish remarked that Maniesh never hugs him, the host humbly said that he needed to work much more harder to consider himself worthy of the honour.

In his acceptance speech, Satish thanked HT OTTplay Awards for the award and went on “ Really everyone said that they’re bringing whole India together, all the languages, on one platform. OTT is a great platform for all the great actors, technicians, writers. Aur hum jaise logo keliye jo pata nahin barson se acting karte aa rahe hain. You know, Calendar, Pappu Pager. Lekin aaj kal waisi acting chalti nahin hain. Aajkal bahut real acting chalti hain. Toh apne aap ko adapt karna, apne aap ko reinvent karna, OTT ki vajah se hua ahin”.

Thar, which also stars Anil Kapoor, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor and Fatima Sana Shaikh, is available for streaming on Netflix.

Meanwhile, the OTTplay Awards and Conclave 2022 took place on September 10, in Mumbai. The awards can be streamed on OTTplay’s official Youtube channel.
