NDTV
"Maybe I am overreacting but we show culture and love to our audience," wrote the actress
Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh and adult film actor Johnny Sins recently featured in an advertisement of a men's health brand. The advert is a spoof on overtly dramatised style of Indian TV shows. Television star Rashami Desai wasn't impressed by the ad. She shared a long note stating that the advert felt like a "slap." She began the note with these words, "I've started my work from a regional film industry. And then I started working in television industry. Ppl call it a small screen. Where normal people watch news, cricket, all #Bollywood film also and much more (sic)."
Ms Desai added in her note, "After watching this reel, which is highly unexpected, I felt its a humiliation to all the TV industry and people who work in television. Coz we are always made feel small and treated like 1. Actors really wanna work on big screen too. This is exactly how we get treated. Everyone is working hard."
She added in her note, "But I am sorry TV show pe yeh sab nahi dikhate. This all happens on big screen. And nothing wrong in showing some reality but this a reality check for all the TV industry coz I feel its a slap. Maybe I am overreacting but we show culture and love to our audience. And I'm hurt coz I have had a respectful journey in the TV industry. Hope you all will understand the emotion. #msorryfornotbeingsorry."
