INDIA: Chocolates have been the language of love for ages. Amidst the rush of Valentine’s week, Tiny Tales (TTT), India’s most loved content company, launched Season 5 of its flagship web series, ‘Butterflies’, in collaboration with Hershey’s India. Released under TTT’s premier short films banner, Terribly Tiny Talkies, this latest instalment ran from 8th -13th February, to usher in Valentine’s Day. The series captivates audiences with its exploration of love in various forms.

With this season’s theme #YourForevers, the YouTube series delves into untold narratives of love and connection, leaving viewers with a lingering sense of warmth toward the end. Through its portrayal of diverse facets of relationships, Season 5 captures the depth of each bond, of those who add love and warmth to our lives – friends, family, and partners. With moments of connection enabled by Hershey’s range of chocolates, each tale not only tugs at the heartstrings but also leaves one wanting more at the end of every episode. Retaining the original core of the IP, Sharanya Rajgopal (Studio Head of TTT) has created every episode as a heartfelt dedication from one character to another, beautifully aligning with the season’s theme and encapsulating the enduring joy of love.

Butterflies season 5 tells the stories of seven people over three endearing episodes. In Episode 1, titled “To Maya, From Rohan,” Rohan (Ritwik Bhowmik) and Maya (Reem Sheikh) are out on a secret romantic getaway just days before their big fat Indian wedding, seeking moments of privacy and solitude amidst mounting pressures. The storyline explores the tension of their escape and the possible consequences if their families were to discover their truth, culminating in a sweet proposal beneath the starlit sky. Episode 2, starring Namita Dubey as Suhani and Asha Negi as Disha, dives into adult friendships. It beautifully illustrates how these connections evolve, navigating life’s changes – taking the viewers on a delightful journey. Episode 3, featuring Ashnoor Kaur as Mini, Harsh Gandhi as Ishaan, and Arjun Deswal as Rishi, celebrates the everlasting friendships forged in college amid moments of laughter and vulnerability.

Please let us about yourself and your journey in the industry.

I hail from Rohtak, Haryana, and my fascination with the world of entertainment was ignited at an early age. The allure of storytelling, the magic of cinema, and the power to evoke emotions through acting captivated me. This passion led me to embark on a journey that started with modeling. I was fortunate to participate in prestigious contests like Ru-Ba-Ru Mr. India Global and eventually win the Elite Model Look India contest. These experiences laid the foundation for my entry into acting. As I ventured into Mumbai, the heart of the industry, I encountered challenges and embraced growth, and now, I find myself in the midst of a fulfilling journey as an actor.

Transitioning from modeling to acting is quite a shift. Can you elaborate on the challenges and rewards you’ve encountered during this transition?

Transitioning from modeling to acting has been an exhilarating journey. While modeling allowed me to express myself through visual aesthetics, acting provided a deeper medium to convey emotions and tell intricate stories. One of the key challenges was to evolve from portraying a character visually on the ramp to bringing that character to life with depth and authenticity on screen. It demanded a shift in mindset, rigorous preparation, and a commitment to honing my craft. The rewards have been immensely satisfying – the chance to delve into diverse roles, collaborate with talented individuals, and engage with audiences on a more profound level.

How do you navigate and cope with the inevitable rejections that are a part of the entertainment industry?

Rejections are part and parcel of the entertainment industry, a reality every actor faces. Initially disheartening, I’ve learned not to equate them with my self-worth. Instead, I treat rejections as chances for growth. I see every “no” as a step toward a “yes.” Rejections prompt introspection and skill improvement. They drive me to work harder, learn more, and refine my craft. With a strong support system of friends, mentors, and loved ones, maintaining a positive outlook is easier. Resilience is key, understanding that rejection isn’t the end. Each setback fuels my determination to prove myself. This attitude propels me forward, keeping me motivated to persist and pursue success.

What drew you to this particular project ‘The Freelancer’ and your character?

The opportunity to play a complex negative role like this was incredibly appealing to me. I’ve always been fascinated by characters that challenge me as an actor and push me outside my comfort zone. ‘The Freelancer’ offered exactly that, and the character’s intricacies resonated with me.

Can you tell us about your role in the upcoming web series ‘The Freelancer’?

Absolutely. In ‘The Freelancer,’ I have the exciting opportunity to portray a negative role. My character is intricately woven into the storyline, adding layers of mystery and complexity. It’s a role that challenges conventional perceptions of antagonists and delves into the intricate motivations driving the character’s actions.

How would you describe your overall experience working on ‘The Freelancer’?

Working on ‘The Freelancer’ has been an incredibly fulfilling journey. It’s been a privilege to work with such a talented and dedicated team. The process of bringing this character to life challenged me as an actor and allowed me to explore uncharted territories. I am excited to share the result of our hard work with the audience.

The series launch of “On My Own in Singapore” was held on 24^th March 2023 at Home, Delhi by PVR, Ambience Mall Vasant Kunj in Delhi and was graced by the presence of the lead actor Vidushi Kaul, who shared anecdotes from her experience filming in Singapore and her own personal discoveries on the glittering city-state. 

Taking on a short and crisp format, “On My Own in Singapore” is a light, amusing and heartwarming story that takes a peek into the pensive mind of Marzia, a 29-year-old who undertakes her solo bachelorette trip in Singapore. Spoofed by her friends into making the solo trip, she discovers many surprises in Singapore on her own that reconnect with her inner self. 

Vidushi Kaul, who has appeared previously in shows such as TVF Pitchers and Made in Heaven, plays the role of Marzia. The show is directed by Shreeya Tiwari, who has been associated with other critically-acclaimed projects such as Josef in Exile and Anarchy of Existence.

Speaking about the newly-launched web series, Mr. G.B Srithar, Regional Director for India, Middle East, South Asia & Africa, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said, “Singapore has traditionally been best known as a prime travel destination for Indian families and groups. Increasingly, we are also observing more and more female travelers empowered to travel to seek out their adventures and self-discoveries in Singapore, to experience who they are, and to fulfill their passions.

Singapore’s range of experiential offerings to young millennials perfectly caters to these solo female travelers. With Singapore’s exceptional track record for women’s safety*, such travelers often share that they are uniquely able to travel freely on their own terms, be inspired by the diminutive city-state’s boundary-breaking spirit, and ultimately find true purpose in their journey.”

Anirudh Gupta, Founder & CEO, Tripoto, “At Tripoto, our endeavor has been to curate custom-made travel plans for people based on their passions. When it comes to women traveling solo, they typically opt for destinations that offer a blend of relaxation, adventure, shopping, and party.  This entertainment format of the web series is our innovative way of reaching out to this segment of female travelers, and Singapore serves as the perfect setting to tell the story of empowerment in everyday heroines like Marzia”. As millennials constantly seek out unique, reimagined offerings in their next travel destinations, Singapore allows visitors to delve right into its dynamic food, events, leisure, shopping, adventure, and nightlife offerings. Research shows that Singapore’s cruise and nightlife destinations are highly preferred1 among middle-aged and younger travelers, which also include solo woman nomads wishing to make bold and exciting memories for themselves.
