They are among the most loved, followed, and emulated people on social media, undoubtedly making them changemakers. Prajakta Koli and Rohit Saraf have a fan following that some well-established film actors would be envious of.
The incredibly cute and talented duo from the hit series Mismatched were present at the recently-held OTTplay Changemakers Awards 2023, where they both received special awards — Prajakta for being the Creator of the Year and Rohit for being the Most Loved Star on Social Media.
As a special treat, OTTplay got Prajakta and Rohit together after their win for a candid conversation on the importance of OTT platforms, the changemakers in their lives, and what’s in store for Mismatched Season 3.
This is a well-deserved award for both of you. Congratulations…
Rohit: It's very special to be receiving this with her (Prajakta). It feels incredible. Thank you.
What do you think is the contribution of OTT platforms in current times?
Prajakta: Everything. Honestly, I wouldn’t be here if there were no digital platforms. I've always said that the more platforms or players there are, the more people we get, and the economy grows bigger. The whole universe kind of expands to a place where you're just grateful to be a part of this madness, you know? So I'm very, very grateful to the fact that we have these platforms.
Rohit: I 100% agree with everything that she said. Also, you know, just having access to OTT has massively entertained us in the last three years when sh*t really went down. Also, for all the actors, in fact, everyone who works in any capacity in the film industry, it's been a huge, huge bonus, and it's really helped people a lot.
Who are the real changemakers in your lives?
Prajakta: For me, it has to be my parents — 100%. Also, my close circle, my team, and my audience have been my changemakers.
Rohit: It goes without saying that my family has been a changemaker in my life. Apart from them, my team has been a huge part of the change that's come about in my life. And like she said, I think the audience, who have been relentless with their love in the last three years, have been just incredible. So, I think that they are the real changemakers.
What can we expect in Mismatched Season 3?
Prajakta: You tell us if you find out. This is a very common question we ask each other and Akarsh (Khurana, the director) all the time.
Rohit: We don’t know yet.
