Did you just use "class apart" and "Vampire Diaries" in the same line ? ๐
Vampire Diaries is like the English version of Kekta there or may be Ishh Pyaar Ko ๐

See the thing is that most Indian TV shows don't have any innovative content and even if they do at the beginning, they always end up with the same old run of the mill storyline due to the TRP race. The Directors and producers of the shows can't be solely blamed for this though...the audience is equally at fault. People love watching Ekta's crazy ass soaps and they give her TRPs hence she continues to show her Saas Bahu, Rona Dhona shit. I remember there was a show on Zee TV probably 2 years back 'Badalte Rishton Ki Dastaan'...It was different compared to the normal thing we usually see on TV...but ended up going off air due to low viewership๐.So viewers hardly accept new concepts thats why there's always the same storyline probably one of the reasons why Western TV is better Indian TV. Though Historical/Mythlogical shows are starting to be accepted among indian viewers which is a good thing.Bollywood movies have a further reach globally compared to TV shows which are only limited to a few countries...that sums up the difference in popularity.TV actors probably stay for 3 years max in a TV Show, then they either leave or it goes air- people switch to a new soap-and forget about that one that is long gone. On the other hand, some people may not go to see every single Salman Khan film, but they probably go to most of them as he releases one movie per year on average.

TV actors are watched more. But the craze is always for image and character than the actor. Like Smriti Irani is still Tulsi or Mohit Raina is Mahadev. Often one image dominates and overshadows other work they do.
TV I feel is taken lightly due to daily format also. The actor has no exclusivity unlike movie star who comes once a year. It becomes routine then. Just as water or dal-roti are simple everyday fare but a pizza or Coke becomes special deal.TV has comparatively less glamour and more of everyday folks. Nothing aspirational unlike films. Gul Khan is creating dream girls and boys though.In terms of recall and nostalgia TV has an edge over films or is equal. People remember their Sunday morning stuff etc fondly as TV watching is more intimate, homely experience than movies.

But it was not always like that. There were really really good hindi serials.
However everything was flushed down the drain after the Saas Bahu ones took entry.
Some very good serials of the past:
Dekh Bhai DekhFilmi ChakkarGud GuddeeSailaabMalabar HillShantiFaujiCircus
A lot more. Also really really good actors.Basically there was a lot more soul into it.

Depends on the Show. A lot of Indian TV actors are Soap Opera actors
In the west the actors ofDays of Our LivesYoung and the Restless.Etc aren't considered that great either. Day time Soapies.Most think it's fluff.
