In
an
era
where
digital
storytelling
is
rapidly
evolving,
actress
Kaushiki
Rathore
finds
herself
at
the
forefront
of
a
new
wave
–
vertical-format
content.
The
actress,
known
for
her
grounded
performances
in
television,
is
now
celebrating
a
career
milestone
as
her
recent
vertical
series
makes
history
with
two
major
wins.
Speaking
exclusively,
Kaushiki
says,
“My
recent
project
was
a
vertical
series
for
Story
TV
with
Rohit
Chandel,
and
it
went
on
to
win
the
Best
Vertical
Series
award.
This
is
the
first
award
any
of
my
series
has
received
in
the
vertical
world,
so
it
feels
extremely
special.”
Titled
Gold
Digger
Kahin
Ki,
the
series
features
Kaushiki
Rathore
and
actor
Rohit
Chandel
in
the
lead
roles.
The
fast-paced,
vertically
shot
drama
not
only
gained
strong
viewer
engagement
but
has
now
also
received
recognition
on
a
global
platform.
Kaushiki
adds
with
visible
pride,
“The
same
series
has
also
received
the
International
Best
Vertical
Series
award.
For
an
Indian
vertical
show
to
be
acknowledged
internationally
is
a
big
achievement
for
all
of
us.”
Vertical-series
storytelling
has
emerged
as
one
of
the
fastest-growing
entertainment
formats
worldwide,
designed
for
mobile-first
audiences.
Kaushiki
shares
that
adapting
to
this
format
required
a
fresh
approach:
,
she
says,
“Vertical
content
demands
a
different
energy
–
more
intimacy,
sharper
expressions,
and
tighter
performances.
It’s
like
performing
under
a
magnifying
glass.
But
that’s
what
made
the
journey
thrilling.”
On
working
with
co-star
Rohit
Chandel,
she
says,
“Rohit
and
I
share
an
easy
chemistry,
and
that
translated
beautifully
on
screen.
Leading
a
project
together
and
then
seeing
it
win
two
awards
has
been
surreal.”
Lastly
she
adds
“I’ve
been
part
of
television,
web,
and
short-format
content,
but
this
project
reaffirmed
my
belief
in
experimenting.
Today,
audiences
are
everywhere,
and
I
want
my
work
to
reach
every
screen
possible.”
For
the
unversed,
Kaushiki
Rathore
has
been
featured
in
TV
shows
such
as,
Krishna
Chali
London,
Gudiya
Hamara
Sabhi
Pe
Bhari
and
Story
9
months
Ki
among
others.
Lastly,
she
was
seen
essaying,
Sumona
in

daily

Aur
Charu.’
