Mumbai, Feb 3 (NationPress) Renowned television actor Arjun Bijlani has recently voiced his concerns regarding the presence of regressive themes in television shows, calling for greater creativity in storytelling.
He stressed the importance of evolving narratives that reflect contemporary society, noting that while some programs are progressive, others still exhibit outdated elements.
In his remarks, the 'Naagin' star stated, “There are progressive shows on TV, and there are some regressive shows on TV as well. Sometimes there are certain tracks that are regressive. Maybe the whole storyline isn't, but certain tracks that come are very regressive, or what is shown is regressive in some scenes. I personally don't second that because I feel that times have changed, and, according to time, even the making has to change and storylines have to change.”
However, Arjun acknowledged that as an actor, he sometimes has no choice but to participate in such scenes. “Sometimes you're in a contract, and you're not the story writer or the screenplay writer or the person who decides the story. But that's fine. I mean, the producers probably have their own research team, and they feel this track will work. However, I personally feel that there should be more experiments on TV,” he elaborated.
When questioned about whether he believes the television industry resists change, the 'Ishq Mein Marjawan' actor refuted this notion, asserting, “I don’t think so. I think that we are a diverse country, and be it actors or audience, everyone finds things they like and projects that they want to be part of.”
Arjun Bijlani is well-known for his roles in shows such as 'Left Right Left', 'Miley Jab Hum Tum', 'Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi', 'Naagin', and 'Ishq Mein Marjawan'.
The actor has recently collaborated with his 'Miley Jab Hum Tum' co-star, Rati Pandey, on his new project, “Insta Empire,” an audio series exploring the intricate dynamics of social media.
