Content creator, actor, singer, campaigner - she has done it all. "I do not relate to the old me in 2015," she says.
There is a soft drizzle in Thane, the sort that makes your hair damp, but not quite wet. It's a gloomy day, and the only bit of sunshine seems to radiate from the bright yellow outfit that Prajakta Koli is wearing as one of her looks for Rolling Stone India's cover shoot. She faces the camera with the confidence of a cricketer facing a ball having scored a hundred, as she should. The 29-year-old became an Internet sensation shooting funny, quirky videos under the moniker Mostly Sane, and she has now made a serious foray into acting for the big screen as well, playing a pivotal role in the recently released Bollywood film, Jugjugg Jeeyo. In it, Koli essays the part of Varun Dhawan's sister, with Anil Kapoor and Neetu Singh playing their parents. There is another film on the cards, and once she's done with this shoot, Koli is headed to Versova for the reading of a cine-play.
But is India's most vivacious content creator ready to be labeled as a full-time actor? "It's not that I am not a content creator, and it's not that I wasn't an actor [earlier," she says with a healthy dose of double negatives, explaining, "I have done theater in college, and even with the content I make, I have been acting as well. So, I wouldn't look at them as separate labels."
