Why is TV and TV stars not respected as much...? - Page 6

I might be wrong but I think it also has to do with how TV serials are only watched by people in India while Bollywood films are watched all over the world. There's a reason why they say  Srk is more popular and better paid than Tom Cruise let alone a TV star in India.

So basically Bollywood actors are respected more because they have bigger audience and fans.

Hindi serials are watched outside of India as well. I don't mean South Asia and the South Asian diaspora, but they are either dubbed or subtitled in various Asian and Eastern European Countries--have been for years. And in recent years they've gone into other markets as well.

 Zee TV comes in 169 countries of the world, and I'm sure others too have a good reach. The NRI population at least does watch Indians shows- there are  people in IF itself who have seen these shows in their native languages in their home countries as they do not know Hindi.  TV stars get a very good response when they go abroad for concerts and tours. The main problem is that most of that love is for the character which does not necessarily help them in long term when they switch over to other roles and projects.

Did you just use "class apart" and "Vampire Diaries" in the same line ? 😆
Vampire Diaries is like the English version of Kekta there or may be Ishh Pyaar Ko 😆

They lack the key to becoming a successful Hindi hero or heroine, star parents! 

Right like Sushant has star parents...😆 Not everyone is as talented on TV...
