Followed by the nationwide lockdown due to the pandemic and the increase in the availability of low-cost internet data and affordable smartphones there occurred a real OTT boom. OTT (Over The Top) is a sheer magic of technology (Over The Top) that has made lives flexible and soothing. That’s the viewpoint on which Aly Goni elaborated in an interview where he told about his priorities in life that OTT allows him to pursue unlike TV. For him, family is an integral and precious part of his life for which he is being able to take out time for, while on TV it is never possible.
“The only difference I think is that shows on OTT don’t drag. They get over in like 2 or 3 months and you get time to be around your close ones, which is very important, I feel. And I realised this after Covid,” he says.
Also he adds “On TV, you just get lost. I remember when I was doing TV, I couldn’t attend any of my cousins’ weddings. I couldn’t attend or celebrate any occasion. I think OTT is good because you will get time to do other things as well. And I think spending time with your family is a big thing, once you miss it, you have missed out and that time won’t come back again,”.
Not only he opens up about himself only in fact he suggests that one should know how to strike a balance between personal and professional life.
“I want to strike a balance between my personal and professional life. I don’t want one to suffer at the cost of another. TV pace is fast and TRP driven mindset is there too. In TV you work many hours non-stop but in OTT in a day you shoot limited scenes.”
