He said, “When we were making shows like ‘Sanjeevani’, ‘Dil Mil Gaye’ and ‘Ek Hasina Thi’, the television content was completely different. An interesting story, deep feelings and the truth of life were tried. But the shows that are made nowadays have completely changed.
It is necessary to show a girl in every show who has come from the small town, believes that today’s shows have become based on drama and emotional twists. ‘It is necessary to show a girl in every show who has come from a small town and is always inspiring. This is the trend. Each show has a story of two sisters, or a boy and two girls. There was a soul in earlier stories, now it only goes on for TRP.
Due to the TRP system, he did not get time for success, he expressed his concern about the TRP system. He said, ‘Earlier a show used to get some time for success, but now the performance check is done every week. If the show did not go well in the first two weeks, no manufacturer would wait for a month. And if you have TRP, only the show gets a chance to move forward.
OTT has given a big challenge to TV, Siddharth admitted that OTT platforms have given a big challenge to TV. ‘OTT has given a complete new direction. Now people can see anything anywhere, anytime. The OTT placed the best content in front of the audience, giving TV a new challenge. But this does not mean that TV should change completely. There is also a need for change here, but learning something from its old era.
