Ram Kapoor opens up about Indian TV industry

While content on the Indian small screen induces varying opinions from its��audience, there is no doubt that the popularity its stars��has increased by leaps and bounds over the years. ��Ram Kapoor, who has maintained a successful career on television while also experimenting in the movies, believes the television industry in India will soon be on par with those across the globe.

Hindustan Times quote the actor as saying, “The television industry has grown. Things have become a lot more hectic. When I started off, the work culture was relaxed. My show, ‘Heena’, used to be a weekly. But that is not the trend nowadays. Because of hectic schedules, actors have to work for long hours and meet deadlines. ��Earlier, the media’s attention towards television was lesser than what it is today. ��I had always maintained that the TV industry will grow. I believe that 10 years from now, there will be no difference between the Indian and the global television industry.”

Kapoor went on to add that while he has been focusing more on films the past two years, he is definitely open to offers on television, as for him it is about finding “the right role rather than the right medium.”
