Television needs to reinvent itself to stay relevant: Kaustubha Mani

Known for roles in television and cinema, actress Kaustubha Mani is soon going to make her comeback to the small screen as Gowri in Gowri Shankara. Excerpts:
‘MY AIM IS TO CONNECT WITH THE AUDIENCE’
Be it small screen or big screen, I am open to working on any platform as long as it keeps me in touch with the audience. Serials demand more time, whereas, cinema
there will be a gap between schedules.During that time I can be fully dedicated to the small screen.
‘CANNOT COMPARE OTT WITH TELEVISION’
People have experienced OTT and the plethora of options it offers, but it cannot be compared to television. There is still that older generation that watches television hows religiously, but this isn’t the case with the younger generation. It will be a challenge for television to keep up with future audiences.

‘I LOVED WORKING WITH RAJ B SHETTY’
I totally enjoyed sharing screen space with actor-director-writer Raj B Shetty in the film 45. We all know how good a filmmaker and actor he is, but he is very good person. He treats everyone equally on the sets which sets him apart from the rest.
