I find tv better cos tv celebs work so hard. Every day they shoot for episodes and have to be entertaining in every one. Whereas in movies the celebs only are there onscreen for few hours and then it's done they're judged based on that. Tv celebs work like hell imo and don't really get any respect on this forum and only bollywood celebs are praised which isn't right.

Yes and people want fresh faces unlike movies where star power does count. Most TV protagonists are in the 18-35 age range. Every story starts with an 18-25 year old girl. So, you can't have the same faces playing these characters in a show that airs daily.

I actually feel bad for TV actors at times 'cause they are ghar ki murgi daal barabar when compared to BW actors despite there not being a huge gulf in terms of talents or looks (since it matters).

TV actors know this too which is why they always try to transition to movies.

i think all this is because of the crooked trp system.

for example the show i followed in 2009 i.e. Bandini was trp success even though it sucked after one year. and, in 2015 it was re-aired by Zee Anmol and it was always in top 2-5 in the rural BARC charts but not in urban because nobody watched reruns.

so, the rural audience is willing to watch anything that is served on their screens because most of the channels like star or zee might not be available to them. in most places these channels need a separate subscription and i doubt that rural audience will pay 200 bucks extra for channels.

secondly, the BARC only covers 30000 households whereas the tv viewing population is around 674.5 million people. This is a faulty system to begin with.

I agree. TV celebs work extremely hard and unlike BW actors don't receive the kind of appreciation they do. They're considered second class. Personally, I don't get the difference between Barun, Sanaya, Adaa, Mouni, Hina etc from TV and BW actors. With some grooming and proper promotions, they can be stars too but they don't get that kind of backing. People don't realise how much proper backing makes a difference in BW.

What I find funny is that BW uses TV hunks and babes to play actors in movies like Karan Tacker, Aamir Ali, Vivaan Bhatena etc. 😲 This just goes to show what BW thinks actors are 'supposed' to look like and what they actually look like.
