After working both in TV shows and films, actor Gaurav chopra feels the line between the two mediums has blurred, but TV industry is still being looked down upon.

"There is no doubt that the difference between films and TV has decreased in the past. But I don't think that the line of difference is so thin. It only seems like that," Gaurav, who had small roles in Hollywood films like "Blood Money" and "Men Will Be Men", told IANS.

"To a certain extent, the film industry looks down on the TV industry. But that is because the TV industry has an inferiority complex, hence the film industry has a superiority complex," he added.



THIS IS JUST A SNIPPET SINCE THE REST WAS NOT MUCH RELATED WITH TOPIC

SO DO U AGREE WITH THIS FELLOW HERE BOLLYWOOD LOOKS DOWN UPON THE TV INDUSTRY IF YES THEN WHAT DO U THINK IS THE REASON

AS IN HW BOTH MEDIUM ARE EQUALLY RESPECTED AND WE HAVE MANY TELEVISION STARS WHO BECOME MAINSTREAM ACTORS IN HW LIKE JENIFFER ANSITON ,KATHERINE AND MANY MORE


do u think if like the west here too we have seasons rather than daily soaps will the scenario change somewhat

yea Manoj...you are so right...in the west...TV stars get better pay...some have equal pay like big movie stars...example all the FRIENDS cast...they are as famous as any movie stars and got great pay as well
Also they have the seaon system there plus the show only airs one day a week...there tv stars work 2-3 months on a season and then can work on other stuff
here...poor tv stars are stuck to that ONE show...and have to shoot regularly since the show's is aired all 5 days
