The Indian Television industry is getting bigger and better each year.
No wonder then, Bollywood stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and superstars like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan have all accepted offers to appear on the small screen.
According to reports, Sanjay Dutt too will be making his TV debut with Bigg Boss' next season. However, one star who has stayed away from the small screen is Aamir Khan.
Offers galore for the star to either host or judge some shows, but he has always chosen not to be part of any. Aamir says, "I don't think the time is right for me to appear on TV as yet. I will go on a show if my friends, who are hosting it, invite me. But I am not currently inclined to host or judge a TV show."
The actor, who is a one of the guests on the Bengali version of Kaun Banega Crorepati hosted by Saurav Ganguly, says that he is enjoying doing films right now and therefore TV is not in his scheme of things.
It can be recalled that there have been reports about the superstar hosting a talk show which draws inspiration from Oprah Winfrey's popular show. But Aamir denies any such plans. He in fact feels that he is at the peak of his career and should only concentrate on his films and productions.
It seems Aamir Khan feels that one needs to shift from the big to the small screen only when one doesn't have many film projects to boast about. And we can't deny that the funda works, the biggest example being Amitabh Bachchan. It can be recalled that Big B's film career was on a downward slope and then KBC came along. His hosting the show with an ever increasing TRP proved lucky for him and changed the mindsets about the brand Bachchan.
But whatever Aamir thinks about the small screen, we hope he does debut on TV for his fans are sure to love him in a different avatar.
