“I hardly watch TV now. If I do then it’s KBC,” said the Tere Naam actress. Every year, November 21 is observed as World Television Day that emphasizes on how TV plays a vital role in presenting different issues that affect people.
“With the television, we see a lot, sometimes more than what’s needed. I was very small when TV came. It was the one with the doors,” she recalled. She remembers watching Chitrahaar, Ramayan, Mahabharata and DD news with her father. “Sundays used to be movie time. There were also serials like Udaan and cartoons such as Spider-Man,” she said about her childhood.
She feels that with an overload and overdose of programs and news, now it’s not much fun. “It distracts families instead of binding them together. Also, news channels in India could be more subtle and real,” she said.
