Naveen Kasturia says 'OTT has become factory-like': When you make so much stuff, a lot of it will be average
From his humble beginnings on TVF's Pitchers to now leading big web series, Naveen Kasturia has come a long way. The actor currently stars in the spy thriller show, Salakaar, streaming on JioHotstar. He speaks with HT about his role, doing action for the first time, and the state of streaming in India. Naveen Kasturia is currently starring in Salakaar. On Salakaar Naveen had largely played the common man in genres as far removed from action as possible. Salakaar shows him as a spy in the thick of the action. Did he ever harbour the ambition of being an action star as a kid, we ask. The actor responds, "I hadn't thought about it in a long time, but like you said, in childhood, I used to do that. In fact, somebody told me, 'You will never look good doing action'. After becoming an actor, I never thought of such parts. It came to me as a surprise, and I'm very happy." Naveen says that the parts he was offered for years were more brains than brawn. "I think the way my career was going, the kind of roles I was offered were very different. I was never thinking in this direction. I thought I'd get parts where I'd use my mind more. That's the kind of perception I have created," says the actor. On the evolution of OTT It won't be an exaggeration to call Naveen one of the OG stars of Indian OTT. He was part of Pitchers in 2015, when the term OTT had not been created, and web series were relegated to YouTube. Cut to today, when there are half a dozen big platforms collectively churning out 10-12 titles a month. "It has become factory-like," reflects Naveen, adding, "A lot of people are creating and telling stories. But it's bound to happen that when you create a lot of stuff, a lot of it will be average. That's true for everything, whether it is films or TV, or now OTT. Good stories are still hard to find." The actor says that while good stories still exist, they can often find it hard to reach the audience. He explains, "In today's times, sometimes because of the clutter, good stories also get lost. That is also happening. So, it's very important to promote properly, and for people to be aware of what's coming out. We say if it's a good story, it will always work. But kabhi kabhi (sometimes), it gets lost." Salakaar also stars Mouni Roy in the lead, along with Surya Sharma and Mukesh Rishi in pivotal roles. The show is streaming on JioHotstar.

Mirzapur actor Priyanshu Painyuli: Always a deep meaning in rakhis my sisters choose for me
When it's Raksha Bandhan and actor Priyanshu Painyuli receives a thoughtful, plantable rakhi from his cousin sister, then the world can definitely sit-up and mouth the actor's viral dialogue, 'Ye bhi theek hai '! On a shopping spree with HTCity, the 36-year-old gets sentimental as he browses through rakhis in the buzzing lanes of Lajpat Nagar's Central Market. Popular for his portrayal of Robin in the web series, Mirzapur Season 2, the Delhi-born actor talks at length about his strong bond with the Capital, and adds: 'I miss having my sisters with me as rakhi shopping here feels special.' Actor Priyanshu Painyuli, popular for his role in Mirzapur, shops with us at Lajpat Nagar's Central Market on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan 2025. (Photos: Manoj Verma/HT) Priyanshu took his time walking through Lajpat Nagar, stopping frequently to check out the endless variety of rakhis on display.(Photos: Manoj Verma/HT) 4 P's: Pure, Special & Unbreakable 'Every year, the festival takes me back to my childhood with my cousin sisters, Priyanka and Prerna. Back then, we were the 4 P's — Priyanka, Pallav, Prerna and me, Priyanshu — and we celebrated rakhi like it was more than a festival. Hum dono bhai hamesha super excited hote thay. It was the day we, two brothers and two sisters, were all heart. For us, rakhi was less about ritual and more about celebrating friendship.' The actor gave us a peek into the thoughtful rakhis he receives from his two cousin sisters every year.(Photos: Manoj Verma/HT) From big rakhis to meaningful ties His rakhi journey, Priyanshu laughs and shares, has gone from being flashy to meaningful. 'As a kid, I loved wearing the biggest rakhi possible so I could show it off. Now, the rakhis my sisters choose always carry deep meaning. Priyanka didi, knowing my love for travel, often sends ones with words like Musafir or organic, plantable rakhis. She says they symbolise her prayers for me to flourish. Prerna, on the other hand, sends rakhis with healing stones for calmness, peace, and good health.' Rakhi = Special Favours 'Priyanka didi is eight years older, so rakhi was my time to flip the script and get pampered. After the rakhi ceremony, I'd ask her to convince mum about something — like letting me go on a night out with friends,' he grins. 'With Prerna, who's just three years older, it's always been more like a friendship — we share secrets, crack jokes and it's easy and effortless between us.' Priyanshu pauses at a shop in a narrow lane at Lajpat to take a closer look at the traditional rakhis available in plenty.(Photos: Manoj Verma/HT) 'For My Sisters, I'm Still Pashu Bhai' Despite his growing fame, Priyanshu insists nothing has changed in their bond. 'I know they keep showing my shows and interviews to their friends, but for them, I'm still 'Pashu bhai' — the same younger brother they've always known. Now that we live in different cities, sending personalised gifts can be tricky. So we have a running joke — Rakhi ka gift pending hai. Whenever we meet, I take them shopping. It's our way of stretching the celebrations a little longer.' For more, follow HT City Delhi Junction
