Actor Anchal Singh will soon appear in a suspense thriller alongside Darshan Kumar. She confirmed the news and shared her excitement about the role. “Yes, my next is alongside Darshan. It’s a very layered character... It’s unlike anything I’ve done before, and that’s what drew me to it,” she said. The new role challenges her as an actor and stands apart from her previous work.

OTT Success Continues

Apart from the upcoming movie, Anchal is also celebrating the return of her two popular OTT series — Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and Undekhi. Both shows are returning with new seasons. She expressed her gratitude, saying, “I didn’t expect that kind of love when I first signed on for them. I’ve been very lucky.” She added, “These shows allowed me to explore deep emotional and psychological layers as an actor.”

Careful Role Choices

Anchal is known for being selective about the roles she takes. She chooses scripts that offer depth and meaning rather than taking on multiple projects just for visibility. “For me, it’s never been about quantity. I could take up back-to-back projects, but I’d rather choose stories where I can truly contribute, where I help move the narrative forward. I’m passionate about storytelling,” she said. She added, “Yes, I want to do more work and be remembered, but for the right reasons.”

On Being Watched by the Industry

She knows the film industry closely watches her next move. “People approach me with various roles, but a lot of them are still waiting to see what I do next. This is a business, after all,” Anchal explained.

Views on Social Media and Casting

When asked about the influence of social media in casting, Anchal shared her honest opinion. “I understand the business side of it, some people look at numbers and think followers equal viewership. But that’s not always the case. A high follower count doesn’t guarantee an audience.”

OTT Isn’t Slowing Down

Despite some doubts about whether the OTT boom is fading, Anchal believes streaming content still has a strong future. “I think there’s still a lot of space for great stories. Maybe actors are just getting more selective, and that’s not a bad thing. We’ve seen the boom; now it’s about choosing the right scripts. Content is still king,” she said before signing off.
