Juhi Chawla: ���Bollywood stars not accepted in fiction TV shows�
Juhi Chawla, who was last seen in Anubhav Sinha�۪s ��Gulaab Gang�۪, has become very selective over the scripts she decides to sign.�� When questioned on whether she would be willing to act on Indian television, the actress says she feels that Bollywood actors working in fiction shows on television does not work.
���It is true that many Bollywood stars are doing television, but they are limited to doing reality shows as judges or hosts. ��But a Bollywood star in a fiction show has not worked. ��Even though the audience loves and accepts us as actors in films, Bollywood actors are not accepted as characters in fiction shows on TV. ��May be the larger than life image of Bollywood stars makes it difficult for people to accept us, as television is more about normal and everyday people,� Chawla said in an interview to Ahmedabad Times.
A number of Bollywood stars, such as Sridevi, Karisma Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, have attempted to act on the small screen.�� Bachchan was the latest addition to this list, with his television show, ��Yudh�۪ on Sony, which unfortunately received a lukewarm response.
Interestingly, Chawla has recently become the brand ambassador for the recently launched channel, Sony Pal.
