  • Why Chahatt thinks TV is stuck.
  • The clash between mass appeal and art.
  • Our thoughts on the TV vibe.

We just saw Chahatt Khanna weigh in on the state of TV. She’s not holding back. She agrees with Rohit Roy. She thinks TV is standing nowhere when it comes to being creative.

It’s a tough take. But honestly? We get it. TV storytelling feels like it is on repeat. It’s the same thing every day. Boring.

Chahatt says creative actors struggle. They can’t really connect with the work. Why? Because TV wants to please everyone at once. It is all about the masses. It is loud. It is fast.

Compare that to films or OTT. The aesthetic there is just different. It’s sharper. Darker. More moody. TV often feels stuck in a bright, flat world. No shadows. No mystery. It is like a painting with only one color. That’s not art.

Speaking of great visuals, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is finally coming online. That is how you do art right! We are so ready for those colors. The vibe is going to be amazing.

Chahatt thinks the mood of TV is just too safe. It needs more heart. More edge. It needs to feel real. Even big stars are being more honest now. For example, Tom Cruise is finally opening up about his intensity. We love that honesty.

We all need a bit of hope for the future of Indian TV. It can be better. Maybe some of that legendary Tom Cruise cake would help the mood on set? Riz Ahmed surely enjoyed it!

Our Take

TV doesn’t have to be dull. We want to see shows that look and feel like a piece of art. Chahatt is right to call it out. It is time for a change. Let’s bring back the soul!
