Sikandar Kher is having a dream run on OTT. The actor is currently basking in the praise coming his way for his short but memorable role in the thriller Monica, O My Darling. Sikandar has previously won hearts with his performance in series like 24, Mum Bhai, and Aarya.

With so much appreciation coming his for Monica… when asked how he feels to taste acceptance finally because of OTT, he shares, “OTT has given employment to everyone and gives us more opportunity to reach people’s home. Most importantly, it had more impact on my career. I am really grateful. Length of the role doesn’t really matter. The best example is Monica… too.”

Sikandar, who has an exciting line up ahead in 2023, feels everyone has their own journey. “I believe, everyone has their own way in the industry, the important thing is to be at it. One must keep working and sooner or later, things are bound to happen. I am glad people are enjoying the work I am doing. I strongly feel that you get work from your previous work,” he tells.

The actor will soon mark his International acting debut. When asked if he feels that doing a Hollywood film, people would see him on a different light, he avers, “I don’t know, this you have to ask people where and how they see me. It is the script that connects the most with me irrespective of the language. Be it any country, the same hard work goes into.”
