Actress Anubha Arora is captivating audiences as the antagonist in Power of Paanch. She shares insights into her role, the OTT industry’s rise, and her acting journey.
Finding Her Character in Power of Paanch
Anubha didn’t initially know Power of Paanch was under Balaji Telefilms when she auditioned. “The moment I read the script, I knew I could ace this role,” she says. “As I learned more, it became a no-brainer—I had to do it!”
Before this, Anubha had played very different characters in Nishedh and Yudhra. Her role as Adeeba in Power of Paanch is a complete shift. “Adeeba’s quirky look, with ribbons and unique hairstyles, was essential. I worked closely with the creative team to make sure her appearance stood out,” she explains. “At first, she seems harmless, but as the story unfolds, you see her struggle with low self-esteem, willing to go to any length to protect her image.”
A New Challenge: Long-Format Web Series
Working on a 50-episode series was new for Anubha. She says, “It was a big commitment but allowed me to really explore the character. The appreciation from co-actors, creators, and fans has been overwhelming. Some hate my character, which means I did my job well!”
Behind the Scenes: Bonding with the Cast
Filming mostly in Mumbai and a brief stint in Surat, Anubha says the cast became like family. “We had so much fun! From dancing and playing pranks to sharing meals and emotional moments, the bonds we formed were incredible. I’ll cherish these memories forever.”
OTT Revolution: Changing the Game
Anubha praises the rise of OTT platforms, noting how they’ve opened doors for actors and creators. “Power of Paanch is one of the first web series with so many episodes, and we’re still trending after four weeks. This format gives both creators and viewers a deeper experience, and I hope more series follow suit.”
Looking Ahead: Exploring New Roles
For Anubha, the future is about exploring a variety of roles. “I want to try everything—especially grey characters with depth. But I also love the idea of playing a romantic protagonist like in Nishedh. My goal is to keep growing as an actor and take on new challenges.”
Anubha Arora’s performance in Power of Paanch proves her versatility, and her career is definitely one to watch.
