Back when I had started my career, there were a handful of channels that would make four-five prime time TV shows each in their slot. You had 18-20 shows to watch and the rest of them were movies. But right now, there are innumerable channels, there are so many platforms. There are so many films being made that provides talents to outshine."

Film actors come on TV and do their PR activities. They judge reality shows because they have a huge fan base not only in India but all around the world. In 2002, it was very restricted. Right now, there is a lot of work going around the industry and if you are worthy and you choose the right things, projects can do wonders for you!"
