Why is TV and TV stars not respected as much...?

I know we ridicule and look down on TV stars, but why? It can't just be that they make crappy shows. BW mostly makes trashy films yet the stars are worshipped. Look at the west, TV is respected, stars like Ian Somerhalder and Bryan Cranston have bigger fan following than some of Hw's biggest stars. The Emmy is as popular as the Oscars. So what do you think makes Indian TV shows and their stars unappealing? Why is KSG not as popular as Salman Khan? Doesn't TV have bigger audience than Movies? Almost everyone has a Tv but not everyone can afford to go to the movies, this especially applies to India.

Coz  they are #2RS people ! (just for fun)

Maybe due to the type of shows that are being made on TV. 

Coz of the content that is produced. Edited by SIR.MEOWINGTON - 9 years ago

The types of shows made in India is the sole reason why TV stars are not that popular like BW celebs.

May be because there isn't over dose of them and there is still some exclusivity as they don't come for more than 22 - 24 episodes in whole year at maximum unlike say Indian tv actors.

But it was not always like that. There were really really good hindi serials.
