Rohit Roy Just Called TV a ‘Dustbin Medium’. Ouch!

Rohit Roy looking thoughtful and serious.
  • Rohit Roy’s spicy comments.
  • Why he thinks film stars have more ‘style’.
  • Our take on the whole debate.

We just saw something kinda spicy drop. Seriously. Rohit Roy, a face many of us recognize from both big and small screens, just went there. He called television a ‘dustbin medium.’ Whoa.

He didn’t stop there. Roy thinks film stars just have more ‘style’ and ‘class.’ He’s talking about the whole look. The way they carry themselves. That visual flair. It’s an aesthetic he feels is missing on TV. Like two different fashion shows, perhaps.

This came out while he was chatting about the old-school film-TV hierarchy. You know, how some people still see films as the big league. And TV as… well, less shiny. It really makes you think about how audiences perceive things. What’s the vibe when you switch channels? Is it that different?

But wait a minute. TV has massive stars too! Think about the buzz around people like Karan Kundrra. He just spilled some serious tea, remember? And with all the new OTT releases, those lines are blurring fast. Shows on streaming platforms look pretty slick. So, is it really a dustbin? Or just a different kind of canvas?

Our Take

We get it. The perceived difference between film and TV has been a thing for ages. But to call TV a ‘dustbin medium’? That feels a bit harsh. So many incredible talents come from TV. And frankly, with high-budget shows on streaming, the visual quality and production value are through the roof. The lines are really starting to blur. We think true talent, style, and class shine through no matter the screen size. Let’s appreciate all artists!
