Diana Penty: OTT is more demanding and more immersive than films
Diana Penty at the recently concluded DTFW "All fashion weeks take me back to my modelling days. It is like getting in touch with my roots… there's nostalgia,' said Diana Penty , right before her maiden walk at the Delhi Times Fashion Week. The Chhaava actress spoke about working on her first OTT project and her idea of fashion. 'Walking the ramp is about enjoying the vibe' On walking the ramp, Diana said, 'I have been on the ramp so many times that now, it is just about enjoying the vibe. If it's a well-choreographed show, with good music, you just get the feels. Having said that, one fear still remains –I don't want to fall!' 'Being in front of the camera has taught me to carry myself with confidence. Going back to the ramp after facing the film camera, brings a sense of ease,' said Diana. Diana Penty started her journey as a model 'OTT gives you more space to experiment and improvise' Diana, who is currently working on an OTT project, shared that working on the medium has been different than films. 'Delving into a longform OTT project is way more demanding and more immersive than a film, as it requires more working hours, giving the actor more time to stay with the character and hence more creative satisfaction.

This medium gives you more space to experiment and improvise, and it has been enriching that way. ' 'I like to spend my weekend doing nothing, chilling on the couch with Victoria' With packed schedules, Diana treasures her downtime. "The best way for Diana to unwind is to do nothing. I wake up with no agenda. I like to do things as and when I feel like. I hang out on my favourite couch with a cup of tea or coffee and just stare into space. My favourite couch happens to be Victoria's favourite too - she is on one end and I'm on the other, and we just chill.' A few glimpses of Diana's weekend 'Comfortable yet chic is ideal for me' With straight lines, solid colours, classic cuts and co-ords – Diana's summer wardrobe is all about comfort. Talking about her style, the actress said, 'Fashion for me is self-expression. It has a lot to do with what I'm feeling on a given day, the message I want to send across that day. It is a reflection of my mind space. There is no fixed sense of style really, but it has always been minimal. If I am just chilling, going out with friends, I want to be comfortable. Comfortable yet chic is ideal for me.' Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
