One would have to be extremely naive and gullible to believe that OTT shows expose the reality of “small Hindustans”.
OTT shows are a masala combination of sleaze, profanity and violence. No one can identify with that level of sleaze, profanity or violence simply because it does not exist. At best, a handful of exceptions can be found in this nation of 1.4 billion. But nobody, talks in such profane language, or sexually fantasise about anyone/everyone of the opposite gender or shoot dead random people.
