Despite the COVID-19 pandemic bringing the Indian movie industry to a halt, Tanya Desai, the Delhi lass has been a busy artiste. The actress, who shifted her base to Mumbai a few years ago says, “I began my career with TV soaps like CID and a few other crime shows. Though people make use of cinema as a medium to enter the audience household, it was easier for me as television made me familiar with the audience.”

However, Tanya felt that she should evolve as an actor and took a quick plunge into the digital medium. “I received a few Punjabi music video offers and I gladly accepted because somewhere on the way I realised that digital medium will be the next big thing. The videos went on to become a huge hit. That way, it was easier for the younger section of the audience to be familiar with me,” she adds.
