Ekta Kapoor, a producer for both television and cinema, has joined the list of actors and actresses who have spoken out against Radhika Madan’s recent remarks on the television business. On Instagram, Ekta Kapoor posted a screenshot of TV star Sayantani Ghosh’s interview and described Madan’s remarks as “sad and humiliating.” “Sad and disgraceful performers have no regard for their heritage,” wrote Kapoor. Salutations to @sayantanighosh0609.
Radhika Madan recently spoke on the demanding hours and lack of creativity that define the TV industry, where she began her acting career. She acknowledged working on Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi for up to 48–50 hours throughout the interview. Madan said that there was never a finalised screenplay and that the show’s directors regularly changed. She stated that the script will be given to the performers on the sets. Every time the Pataakha actress requested a script while filming, she allegedly received the response, “Aap set pe chalo, script garma garam aa rahi hai.” She said that any contributions she made would be rejected by the directors.
Sayantani Ghosh replied to Radhika Madan’s interview, “Very delighted for you @radhikamadan and an avid admirer of you! I recall that you did a great job on your most recent performance. And if I recall properly, it was a television programme. In fact, a fantastic beginning to a promising career! I’m sorry, but I just found this mental process odd. It is unfortunate to dismiss the TV industry. Every aspect of life functions in a certain way and has its advantages as well as weaknesses.
Other TV actors and actresses including Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, Karanvir Bohra, and Anita Hassanandani Reddy offered support to Sayantani.
