What would actors like to see on TV in the future: a wish list


Television is a medium that delivers you all the possible news from all across the globe and educate and enlighten the masses.

In the last decade, the Indian television industry has grown in leaps and bounds. Its impact has touched greater heights influencing hearts and minds of millions all across the country and the world.

Currently, television caters to all types of shows from family drama to romantic to comedy to action-based shows and also serials made on social issues.

But somehow there are talks of the content being not progressive and lots can be still done at the programming front.

In our inquisitiveness, we called up a few TV actors and asked them of their views on the kind of shows they would like to watch on the small screen in the coming years.

Here is what they had to say…


Neil Bhatt: Television should move more towards realism; widen the horizon and make shows on an International level. We always come across this verdict that viewers in rural areas want to watch shows that have domestic stuff. Here, my question is why not make such shows which educate masses and enlighten them? Sometimes because of financial constraints, one cannot make a show as envisaged. Hence the show flops. And the worst part is most of the time one copies a character from a Bollywood film; does it make sense if you copy a character? Here, I would like to say that there should be shows made on someone's life (biopic); such serials that would be near to truth/reality would be delightful as well.

thanks geesh.

so true..originality does not exist in television any more..
There is so much scope to do..television is such a big platform..but our show makers dont utilise it proprely..dont whom to blame. The regressive shows has the highest TRP..anything original comes..TRP drops..why ?

But I still beleive..if it is made like really well..then original and progressive shows will also click. These channels themselves have spoiled the taste of indian audience.

btw me too love to see shows based on biopic..historical stories.

well said neil,...Why is it so hard to make a good television series... there's been a dearth of good shows for decades. , everything has been played to death and cloned with a different name, you got rubbish like these soaps which are almost exclusively repeats of a previous episode, someone did this or that...eventually if a show has a different story and a good cast who performs well its the trp tht becomes a major issue... generally audience loves cheap imitation of bollywood movies...probably the ph thinks "if the masses can watch crappy shows and love them, then that means we can produce crap that passes for good fiction somehow without putting in any real effort! big money here we come..."..
