Ranvir Shorey participated in Anil Kapoor hosted Bigg Boss OTT 3 this year. Since the actor joined the show, he has been making the headlines. Though he could not lift the trophy, he still managed to be one of the final contestants. The actor earlier revealed the reason behind participating in the reality show and said that he was not getting enough work. He also shared that some of his projects did not materialise. Reacting to the same, his friend and actor Kay Kay Menon said that even he was out of work before the rise of OTT. He also shared the reason behind not getting enough work before.
In an interview with News 18, Kay Kay said that he never watched a reality show. He also shared that he did not watch Ranvir Shorey in Bigg Boss OTT 3. Kay Kay said, “I didn’t have the time to watch it.”
He continued, “Having said that, I didn’t need to watch Bigg Boss to see Ranvir. We’ve spent enough time together before the show happened to him. Another reason is that I knew I would catch him acting on Bigg Boss OTT. I know him too well.”
Reacting to Ranvir’s claims about not getting work, Kay Kay said “This was before the OTT boom. It had to do with the fact that in cinema and the films that we see in theatres, the scope for people and actors like us had reduced.”
Menon also praised Manoj Bajpayee for being resilient during those tough times. He said “All through our lives, we had no choice but to play villains or something along those lines. People like me and Manoj are ziddi. We’re just obstinate! We continued our journey through it all. There were perhaps actors more talented than us who fell by the wayside because they didn’t have the tenacity to hold on. So, when OTT platforms came in where stars didn’t work but only actors, opportunities blossomed.”
Kay Kay Menon is known for his work in Special Ops, The Railway Men, Shaurya, Bambai Meri Jaan, Black Friday, Life in a... Metro, Sarkar, Ankur Arora Murder Case and The Stoneman Murders to name a few.
On the other hand, Ranvir Shorey is known for his work in Chandni Chowk to China, Ek Tha Tiger, Sunflower, Singh Is Kinng, Accident or Conspiracy: Godhra, Sonchiriya and Aaja Nachle to name a few.
