| Film stars Vs TV stars | |
| Over the years television has evolved from being a luxury to an absolute necessity. Initially TV was considered as the poor cousin of the big screen. Today that bias is the story of the past. Now, film stars are making a bee line to host shows on TV. Glaring instances being stars like Big B, SRK and Karan Johar. With the film stars lapping up the small screen, the big question is how it impacts the people who have been associated with television for a long time. Is it a threat or a harbinger of new possibilities? We spark the debate and capture some responses from select TV celebs!! |

I guess it is a great development that film stars are coming on to the small screen. It has blurred the old lines of thought when television and films used to be seen as different mediums with little in common. The current trend of film stars doing TV shows would surely help the TV industry evolve into a bigger phenomenon. Like the way small screen has evolved in the West.

There is nobody in the television industry who matches the fan following of the film stars. I think most of the TV actors have an average appeal. So, when film stars make an entry into television they make it more glamorous than it actually is. In fact TV has managed a lot of popularity owing to the film stars; otherwise it would have been an average medium.
