Mumbai, Dec 8 (NationPress) Renowned content creator who has transitioned into acting, Prajakta Koli, recently recounted her journey from producing her own content to collaborating with directors, describing the shift as surprisingly seamless.
When questioned about the challenges involved in moving from being a creator to being directed by various filmmakers, Prajakta shared with IANS: “I anticipated that it would be far more challenging for me to relinquish certain behavioral habits I had formed as a creator.”
Koli expressed initial concerns about abandoning some of her established habits as a content creator.
“When I began acting, it was the first occasion I was portraying characters that I hadn’t crafted myself. I was constantly pondering, ‘How will I comprehend the motivation behind this line? What happened prior? How can I know? I don't instinctively understand how to act as a character I didn’t develop.’ But this apprehension lasted only two days.”
Working with seasoned filmmakers, the actress discovered comfort in the knowledge that there were professionals guiding the narrative.
“Upon arriving on set and collaborating with creators who are significantly more talented, credible, and clear about their storytelling vision, an immense relief washed over me—I realized I didn’t need to stress about this. There’s someone more knowledgeable and experienced than I am managing the project,” she remarked.
She noted that this relief quickly transformed into enjoyment.
“Knowing I don’t have to worry about this allows me to have fun. During breaks, we can grab tea together and enjoy ourselves. It’s also a little indulgent, which I appreciate.”
Prajakta is currently looking forward to the premiere of her forthcoming series “Single Papa,” featuring Manoj Pahwa, Kunal Kemmu, Neha Dhupia, and Ayesha Raza Mishra.
The series centers around Gaurav Gehlot, a lovable man-child whose emotional maturity is still developing. His unexpected decision to adopt a baby right after his divorce shocks his family, prompting them to briefly consider 'rebooting' him. The result is a humorous chaos as the Gehlots attempt to comprehend how a man who can’t even keep track of his socks plans to raise a child.
“Single Papa” is set to debut on December 12 on Netflix.
