Sanaya Irani: I am quite excited to explore the digital space right now

Actress Sanaya Irani has always been the people’s favourite small screen actress. She is one of the talented actresses in Indian television. She will be returning to acting in a short film and a web series. Talking about the same, she said, "I was quite keen to do a short film as I have never done one and wanted to try something new, so I gave it a try. My short film is a simple story but I loved the fact that it had a message. As for the web series, we have just shot the promo and will start work on the show soon. I find the digital medium amazing. People of our generation are watching and consuming entertainment online. The content online too is fascinating."

Speaking about her comeback in small screen, the actress said, "When I was doing TV, I thought the content would change and we would become progressive in our stories but that hasn’t happened. Whatever good and progressive content are out there, is happening on the web, which is wonderful. As an actor, you are always greedy to do different kinds of work."


"As an actor, you aren’t stuck to a web series for two years or longer like you might be with a TV show if it became a hit. Moreover, in an online show, you are not playing the same character for years either. There are many good reasons to be part of the online content. I am quite excited to explore the digital space right now," Sanaya added.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
