The rise of social media is changing how casting works, and many actors are speaking out about it. Shriya believes that while some filmmakers might consider an actor’s social media following important, the best directors look for talent instead.

Shriya says, “Good filmmakers look beyond followers; they focus on talent.” She acknowledges that while some people may prioritize social media presence, it’s essential for actors to showcase their skills.
She appreciates Bhuvan Bam for using his platform effectively and creating opportunities for himself. Despite many of her recent projects being on OTT platforms, Shriya wants to do more films. She got inspired to pursue more theatrical roles after her appearance in the Marathi film Navra Maza Navsacha 2, where she received a positive response.
Shriya feels labeled as an “OTT actor” too often. She believes such labels limit how the industry sees her potential. Instead, she emphasizes that talent should be the focus in the film industry. As she continues her career, she hopes to find more opportunities in films and tell engaging stories that resonate with audiences.
