It is not just about serials, but news, music and films. It's also about what we get to see.” “Television has become more realistic, and even the audience has become more realistic. TV is in the liberation phase right now. I don't think there is a need to compare OTT with TV, because both have their own charm. ” Devangana, a child of the 90s, grew up watching Surbhi and Chitrahaar on Doordarshan.
He said, “I remember the time when there was a cartoon channel in India where you could watch cartoons for two hours. And with time when daily soaps started coming, it became a complete game changer. I remember that The whole family used to sit together and watch the entire series and drama. I have seen those changes, and I miss them.
Any TV show that has made an impact on you? “I remember a show for children and Son Pari, Shaka Laka Boom Boom. I could relate to all these shows, and the best part was that at the end of each episode, children were given a message to learn and move ahead in life,” she concluded.
