To celebrate the invention and significance of television, every year, the United Nations General Assembly celebrates World Television Day on November 21. While the special day is gaining a lot of popularity and fame worldwide, popular Indian Television actress Rupali Ganguly believes that TV will never die.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, the TV actress said, “TV is the comfort food that you eat at home. OTTs are like eating a restaurant's luxury food. It's a bit up-market and has a different kind of storytelling. It has something different in tandem with the modern generations. Amid all this, we forget that a large chunk of our population is normal Indians, who have still not gone into the OTT zone.”
The Sarabhai vs Sarabhai actress further elaborated, “For instance, I don't know how to operate gadgets, smart TV is still alien to me. I have learnt to watch TV via the set-top box. So, TV is the comfort zone for most of us. I haven't understood the world of OTT yet. There may be many people like me in remote villages and even in urban cities, especially the moms, they might find a little difficulty in understanding the digital space.”
As she continued, the actress added, “I tried to watch something on the web, but there was someone blurting out cuss words, killing people. This is also fine in the name of creativity, it's different but I don't like all this. I would rather watch a comfortable show like Anupamaa, or any other show that I can sit with my family and watch, and not feel embarrassed to watch with my son or an elder family member. That's why I don't think TV will ever go out of fashion.”
Talking about her professional front, Rupali is currently the lead in Star Plus’ show Anupamaa.
