Playing cards on set reminded me of Diwali nights with my family, shares Yukti Kapoor on reliving childhood memories through Hungama OTT’s Let’s Play Blind

Hungama OTT, one of India’s leading digital entertainment platforms, is all set to unveil its latest original series, Let’s Play Blind, a gripping drama that dives into the glitzy yet treacherous world of underground gambling. Streaming from 12th August 2025, the series packs ambition, betrayal, manipulation, and deep secrets into one high-stakes thriller where what’s on the table is far more than just money. Let’s Play Blind boasts a stellar ensemble cast featuring Yukti Kapoor, Akkshith Sukhija, Dolly Chawla, Kangna Sharma, Amy Aela, and Ribbhu Mehra. Let’s Play Blind unravels the lives of five elite players whose masks begin to crack as the games intensify.

Yukti Kapoor steps into the role of Neeta, one of the show’s most complex characters. Poised and emotionally guarded, Neeta uses the game to both escape and armor, grappling with the control she loses in her personal life and reclaiming it at the gambling table.

Sharing her experience of essaying the character of Neeta, Yukti said, “Neeta is graceful and quiet, but there’s a lot going on beneath the surface. Her strength lies in how well she hides her pain and plays her part. I was drawn to the emotional duality of her character—being vulnerable and powerful at the same time.”

Talking about prepping for the game itself, she adds, “Playing cards on set reminded me of Diwali nights with my family. As kids, we all played cards casually, but I had never taken it this seriously. For this role, I had to really understand the game, and once I got the hang of it, I actually started enjoying it. Apart from the shots taken, we played cards together during breaks and played for fun—it became a bonding activity for the cast. That energy made its way into the scenes, too. Even I learnt so perfectly that if I play cards with family or friends this Diwali, I’m pretty sure I’ll win!”
