"on TV serials social responsibility - our responsibility is entertainment not change the country as we are fooling people because people do what they want our job is to entertain & give what you want- we are all intelligent people we might be impressionable but in the end we do what is right in our own mind." Well I am not certain now if this is Samir sonis stand on social responsibility in the media revolution or he was simply trying to defend Parichay as his remarks came directly after Avika's comments on the subject & on the impact of BV & while he did try to later justify his statement by shifting responsibility to the writer & TRPs saying actors have limited authority he did not justify his initial statements by saying his responsibility is limited to do the best in his role
I agree TV is part of every familys life - most intelligent people will not get impacted by watching a prime time serial which is aired 5 days a week but what about those in a country like India where some are illiterate or more impressionable by the influence of TV serials especially when it insults the intelligence of the lead actor who says how can someone who just got married to me be running away with someone else – when a serial shows a man using force to marry a woman or use violence against her, will it not have a negative impact on some segments ???
Like passive smoking affects only some people with cancer so also the constant negative depiction of TV characters influence some segment of the masses & that does not absolve the makers of they responsibility of negatively impacting society so that the serial production team can continue in business making lucrative packages in the name of entertainment without any regard for public opinion. Hope the Parichay team will reassess its story line & start showing positive entertainment.
I think the gentleman in the audience who raised the point on Amir serial made an excellent point on social responsibility in general ---
but yes he is right and was the only non diplomatic person in the panel the other three were behaving like there on screen character
had anandi made such a difference child marriage would have bee completely abolished in India by this years old show and sorry to say they made very idealistic family does this happen in real even in metropolitans not many families agree for second marriage of daughter in law , not eve working daughter in law is accepted expecting these changes because of tv serial is stupid
sameer i think is the only actor in the industry who openly accepts his difference of opinion with ekta and cv others say they have social responsibility but do all kinds of stupid things in the serial 2 marriages , leaving family for 5 years thinking what is the use because the were thinking she is dead and though she has child with that man , or sitting in mandap instead of her sister as the sister had gone for dance performance or did they show medical consequences of marrying a man double to your age
and do these socially aware actors are given respect and have any say in front of channel "no"
channel run masala serials to get more trp and run more ads who cares what message fans are getting and if he channel is teaching good moral value or not , they brought amir khan for masala , kept a song in the end of every episode , also made people talk to favorite celeb all was part of masala no solution was provided by the serial only condition was shown and besides first two weeks later its trp fell very low this shows people are not ready for lecture they want entertainment
actors are only able to leave impression and that i think sameer is the only actor on who works that his character does that. that is why he did not do 2 marriages , even ekta had to bend down on his will this is a responsible actor , kunal no matter what happens always wear seat belt this is responsible
how can an actor challenge the writer , how can he say that the writer is not being socially responsible and how can he change the story if the cv , the channel and producer are willing to and happy go with the script , if actor does too much of chick-chick he will be thrown out of the serial no one will listen to his duty that he was trying to be socially responsible
but telling me that he should give 30 min lecture every day on good morals , or should stand for every twist in serial come on give me a break he is there to earn and we are here to enjoy
taking up responsibility like politician is not their duty and if they take up this duty the so called audience asking them these questions will be the first one to change the channel
why don't people see these social films over sharuhk and salman films
you know what these words"responsible" ,"social duty" "roll model" and "inspirational"are god to win beauty pageants but are far from todays reality
i am impressed and happy that sameer spoke the truth and his true thought which is a reality and not a good scrip which is talking only idealistic scenario and is way far from reality
hats off to dabang sameer soni 👏
