TV,
telly,
the
tube,
TV
set,
small
screen,
gogglebox,
are
a
few
popularly
known
synonyms
for
television.
While
OTT
has
emerged
as
one
of
the
key
entertainment
mediums,
TV
is
still
the
preferred
entertainment
medium
even
today.

get
candid
and
share
memories
associated
with
television
while
also
expressing
how
the
mass
medium
of
communication
is
still
relevant
for
them.
Sarika
Bahroliya
of
Gudiya
Humari
Sabhi
Pe
Bhari
says,
"There
was
a
time
when
my
life
revolved
around
the
television
and
my
favorite
shows.
I
used
to
finish
all
my
work,
cut
myself
from
everyone
at
home,
and
sit
glued
for
hours
together
in
front
of
the
TV.
Other
than
the
shows
I
used
to
regularly
watch
while
growing
up,
I
realized
that
television
also
has
something
interesting
going
on
at
any
given
time
of
the
day
for
people
of
all
ages.
From
cartoons
for
children,
news
for
those
who
would
like
to
stay
updated
at
all
times,
daily
soaps
doubling
up
as
a
diversion
and
a
temporary
break
from
one's
hectic
life,
music,
and
movies
for
ardent
fans
and
aficionados,
to
hobby-related
channels,
television
is
one
medium
that
can
reach
and
connect
with
people
across
all
demographics.
Even
with
content
easily
available
on
OTT
platforms
or
smartphones,
I
would
still
opt
for
watching
a
movie
or
a
show
on
TV,
especially
if
my
family
is
around."
Aasif
Sheikh
of
Bhabiji
Ghar
Par
Hai
comments,
"Television
I
feel
is
to
date
is
the
most
popular
audio-visual
medium
of
communication.
And,
I
am
so
glad
to
be
a
part
of
this
ever-evolving
and
challenging
industry.
When
I
was
younger,
I
did
not
think
I
would
end
up
becoming
an
actor
but,
watching
movies
and
shows
got
me
thrilled
as
I
realized
that
one
person
had
the
opportunity
to
live
lives
of
different
characters
on-screen.
When
I
got
my
first
role
as
Prince
Ajay
Singh,
I
knew
that
it
would
be
unforgettable
but,
what
I
went
on
to
realize
much
later
was
that
it
was
India's
first
TV
serial.
After
that,
I
did
branch
into
theatre
and
films
as
well,
but
what
I
realized
is
-
Jo
baath
TV
mein
hai,
woh
kisi
aur
mein
hai
hi
nahi.
My
relationship
with
television
is
beyond
compare
and
the
excitement
and
eagerness
to
do
more
and
more
is
only
growing
with
every
passing
day.
To
date,
while
shooting
as
Vibhuti
Narayan
Mishra,
I
get
a
chance
to
entertain
my
fans
with
other
characters
as
well
like
the
one
inspired
by
The
Godfather,
Joker,
to
name
a
few."
Gracy
Singh
of
Santoshi
Maa
Sunaye
Vrat
Kathayein
concludes,
"The
first
time
I
saw
myself
on
the
television,
I
was
filled
with
mixed
emotions.
I
was
worried,
happy,
excited,
and
more
importantly,
nervous
to
see
how
my
family
and
friends
would
react.
While
I
have
gone
on
to
play
many
roles
and
portray
various
characters
from
then,
Dinky
I
would
say
made
me
a
household
name.
It
was
the
genesis
of
my
career
and
no
doubt
I
had
movies
that
followed
and
helped
me
gain
popularity,
but
television
will
always
be
dear
to
me
and
remind
me
of
my
humble
beginnings.
I
know
the
newer
generation
may
choose
their
smartphone
over
television,
but
there
are
those
on
the
other
hand
who
to
date
rely
on
the
television
for
their
source
of
education,
information,
entertainment,
and
relaxation.
And
as
I
continue
shooting
as
Santoshi
Maa
that
comes
on
television,
I
on
World
Television
Day,
promise
to
continue
working
hard
and
reaching
out
to
my
fans
via
the
television."
