New Delhi: Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Genelia D'Souza have thronged the small screen of late, but TV actors say they don't feel threatened by their presence as actors of daily soaps have a different appeal.

Ronit Roy, who plays the male lead in NDTV Imagine's show "Bandini", says small screen actors have no need to feel threatened by the presence of Bollywood actors.

"There are only a handful of shows where actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan come. So there is really no reason why we should feel threatened. In fact, it's a matter of pride for us," Ronit Roy told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

"One point to be noted is that there is no overlapping between TV actors and Bollywood actors on the small screen. They have separate shows, we have separate shows with different audiences. It's silly to think we have any competition with them. I think the presence of Bollywood on TV gives more brand value to small screen actors," he added.
