Actress Charul Malik, currently seen in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, believes that while television has consistently showcased certain types of content, today's audience has been exposed to a wider variety of content. She adds that she has yet to encounter a regressive storyline offered to her on TV.
"My thoughts on the lack of progressive content on TV are that television has indeed evolved in terms of content. I believe our mindset regarding TV has also shifted. We've started focusing on better content because we now have better platforms, web series, films, and other content to choose from. So, TV itself hasn't changed; we have. I've never encountered a regressive storyline in my career because I'm very selective, and I think it's easy to manage due to my capabilities. I only take on what I can handle, and I feel blessed and balanced in my career. I haven't faced any situation that has left me unsatisfied or made me feel like I had to compromise," she says.
When asked if she feels that the TV industry is resistant to change, she responds, "No, I believe the industry is changing. The idea of change is important, but I feel TV content has improved. Experimentation is necessary, but if a show doesn’t perform well, it gets canceled. So, a lot of thought and understanding are required before making such decisions. However, the comfort zone remains with the familiar 'saas-bahu' dramas, and that’s what's being delivered."
