I am watching on Colors TV channel an awards function titled ‘ The Golden Petal Awards ” for TV artists . It is amazing to see the depth and breadth of fresh talent and many veterans who perform every day and night with great TRP to entertain the households in India . This break through happened may be during the last 10 years at the most and TV Entertainment in India is poised to grow and bring in handsome profits to all the stake holders . We have come a long way from the days of ” Humlog ” and ” Buniyad ”
It is heartening to see many budding artists start with TV and migrate to main stream cinema . The reverse also happens in the case of a few veterans from the Movie World who move over to the small screen by choice . This is tremendous opportunity for fresh talent in India and I cannot help draw a parallel with the IPL format of cricket where same trend happened giving us more choices to pick players from IPL to play in one day matches and also in test cricket .
I wish such initiatives were also taken by the government in the field of sports and games !
