Speaking about the platform’s milestone, Jain stated, “[7 May] marks the one-year anniversary of OHO, and amidst the hard work, sleepless nights and stress, there is a sense of pride as our creation grows and develops.”

“When we first launched OHO, our primary goal was to tell sincere, entertaining, and relatable stories that become like a part of your life,” he added. “A year of creating content, writing stories, and coming up with new ideas has been a roller-coaster journey that has been both bumpy and smooth at times. During this first year, we have worked with nine debutant directors, six debutant writers and 34 debutant actors.

“Until now, we've created relatable, heart-warming and amusing stories that society would accept, but now it's time to see our reflection as a part of society,” he continued. “Missing will reveal the unpleasant reality. I hope that the audiences continue to show their love and admiration for us and that we may continue to provide you such and many more engaging stories and never leave you bored.”
