Hyderabad: Since the OTT platforms have enjoyed success in recent years with their solid content, the shift in protagonists was apparent. "She-Heroes" or simply "Sheroes" are dominating the charts on both Indian and foreign streaming giants. It's interesting that OTT has created a space for actors of various calibres.
Former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen, prominent actor Shefali Shah, designer-turned-actor Masaba Gupta, and small-screen actor Sakshi Tanwar, all belong to the same generation. Using these platforms, actors from several mediums and genres have discovered their roles and voices. Let's look at a few outstanding women-led series that shouldn't be missed ahead of International Women's Day.
Delhi Crime, a crime drama series, has won praise from critics throughout the world thanks to the cast which includes the incredibly brilliant Shefali Shah, Rasika Dugal, Rajesh Tailang, and Adil Hussain. Delhi Crime's first season centres on the gang rape of Nirbhaya in 2012, while its second season emphasizes the renowned Kacha-Baniyan gang.
