Though she started her career with television in 2012, it was Chinese app TikTok that put Sameeksha Sud on the map. The actor-social media influencer is taking her digital popularity to the next level with her digital debut series, Who’s Your Daddy? on ALTBalaji. The actor reveals the Chirag Arora directorial venture was not her only pick. “I had two offers from ALTBalaji, and wanted to do both. Observing our combined social media presence, they [the head honchos at the platform] suggested I sign Who’s Your Daddy? instead,” says Sud, who is paired opposite Bhavin Bhanushali in the series. Sud says her character, Sukoon, made the decision easier. “I am similar to Sukoon, and hence, could relate to her.”
The actor, who enjoys a sizable fan base, says that her soaring popularity on TikTok was unexpected. “Initially, there were no avenues for monetary benefits through social media apps. I joined TikTok for fun, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it to blow up to this scale.”
