Talking about the same during an interview with India.com, Charkravarti said, “I think we’re also opening up because there used to be a bit of a mindset and stereotype thing, you know television actors, you know, didn’t wanna see them in films, we would get boxed in. But I think these new digital age platforms have opened up those doors, I would say. So, it’s become a lot more welcoming and I think it’s a matter that one project where one sees me on OTT or wherever and I think it’ll be flooded.”


Talking about Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, the reality show is currently airing on television. it has celebrities like Asim Riaz, Shalin Bhanot, Shilpa Shinde, Abhishek Kumar, Krishna Shroff, Gashmeer Mahajni, Karanveer Sharma, and Aditi Sharma among many others as participants.
