Karishma Tanna is enjoying the appreciation coming her way for her performance in Hansal Mehta’s Scoop and credits OTT for letting her show her talent.
She traces her journey from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi to Scoop and says it’s the biggest show of her career, that she got after a series of backbreaking, heart-crushing rejections.
She has been in the industry for over two decades– acting on TV, appearing in films and eventually transitioning to streaming platforms but says she always wrestled with the nagging thought of never getting what she “deserves” despite her best efforts.
