On being asked to explain on what representing a celebrity entails, Jaya Saha responds by "broadly putting it into three different buckets".

One, of course, is revenue. Because when you sign an actor, you're basically telling them, "Hey, give me the responsibility of your career". Secondly, at the end of the day - every actor is a brand. Third, the media landscape is changing so much. The way people consume content is changing. You have to evolve to figure out what are your new business avenues.

Radhika Nihalani chimes in, joking, "It's very sad that I've been in this business now, for so long; and and everyone including my mother is like, "But what do you actually do?" Basically I keep up the public image".

She further adds, "What's the reputation that you're trying to build? And how do you keep building that while you keep evolving?"

Amit Tuli shares his perspective on the pandemic's impact on their profession. He explained, "What COVID brought was a very sudden, very rapid change. And digital (media) became that one very important aspect that everybody converged to".
