Will promotion in TV shows stop?

Whether it is bigg boss, other reality shows, even shows like Tarak Mehta, it seems that bollywood celebs want to be everywhere before their movie releases. Not blaming them, hell if I invest so much and work for an year, I would like to take every opportunity to promote my film.
But hasn't it become little boring now? It was okay when it was a new concept. We rarely saw stars in TV shows so when they advertised that a big star is coming on small screen it would hold some value. Lets take comedy nights with kapil. Kapil does a fantastic job but nearly everyone has been on his show. Wont excite us anymore if we hear saif is coming again on CNWK next week.

Still CNWK has a format where they could get stars to promote their movies, but in reality shows it just eats up a lot of time. I have seen who wants to be a millionaire and its straight to the point and highly entertaining. Other shows like Hell's kitchen, Apprentice, Dragons Den are all no bull shit, high quality television. I hardly doubt Gordon Ramsay will let robert downey jr come to promote his movies there.

Jo India mein bikta hai,
Woh hi TV pe dikhta hai.

Do you think people would even bother watching Jhalak Dikhlaja with a line up of unknown TV actors if there aren't TV stars frequenting the sets?

Umm..the majority of people world wide get what movies are coming out through TV entertainment programs. Even the local news usually has a segment on movies releasing that week.
It will only stop the day the majority of the world spends time on movie forums like this without having a life like us 😛 😆

I feel sorry when the channels decide to use these big actors to come to their flop shows! They use them to promote their bakwas shows so they can do better in TRPS!

I don't like it 🤔 I feel its not fair that Bollywood celebs come in shows to promote their movies for their own good. It makes tv stars seem like they are lesser. I mean tv stars work hard to come in movies, and here bollywood celebs use shows for their promotion.

It's fun when done in a limit. If you have film actors coming every other week to promote your film on the show (that too on a daily soap) it gets irritating.

I don't mind actors promoting their films on reality shows too. But what irritates me is that some actors talk only about their films and have a bored/not interested/'someone take me out of this tacky show' wala look the rest of the time. If you are on the show promoting your film, show respect to the show and everyone associated with it. Try to interact and show genuine interest. And for god's sake, be on time. It is ridiculous to keep a whole set of actors/reality show participants and judges waiting just cos u r not ready yet for an appearance. You are not doing any favour by coming to the show, you came bcos you need promotions just as much as they want to increase viewership.

Its like they are forcing you to go and watch their movies.Earlier also movies did release and there was no such promotions but still the movies did so well.What is the need for so much promotion.I wish the film makers concentrated more on good script than promotions.

Disagree. The BW stars have to promote their movies in these TV shows that means those shows are popular and have a big reach 😛
