'12th Fail' actor Vikrant Massey opened up about why he quit the television industry.
Before Vikrant Massey came to be associated with the Vidhu Vinod Chopra-directorial 바카라12th Fail,바카라 he was known for his work on the long-running daily soap opera 바카라Balika Vadhu.바카라 But why did he depart from the television industry? In a conversation on 바카라Unfiltered by Samdish바카라 on YouTube, Massey revealed his reasons for the same.
Vikrant Massey remembered instances when makers created misogynistic content for the sake of TRP, which did not sit well with him. He said, 바카라There were many, which were happening repetitively, which is why I left TV. Universally, everyone was doing the same thing. Be it any field, when a certain thing works, only its versions are then replicated. So on TV when misogynistic content worked, which included bahu pe atyachaar (torture the daughter-in-law), there were takers as well so people were making just that for TRP.바카라
He further went on to add, 바카라On TV, a lot of irritating things would happen, like MBAs calling the shots on stories. They would say, 바카라Make only these kinds of episodes for rating, as per our internal research.바카라 They really made a fool out of many by saying this was 바카라internal research바카라 and asking for a 바카라maha episode바카라, which would be of one hour. After a point, I fought with them and said I won바카라t do it.바카라
Massey also added that he felt like his potential wasn바카라t being fully used. He revealed that he could have done a lot more but he wasn바카라t given an opportunity to do so. He stated that whatever he did in television was solely because of his belief in the content of the show, however, after a point, it wasn바카라t all that fun.
But he was done with television, and wanted to close that chapter. His determination was extreme as he disclosed turning down a Rs 35 lakh per month contract to pursue a career in cinema. 바카라I earned a lot of money through TV바카라 But there was regressing content on TV and I wanted to move to cinema.바카라 Post quitting the television industry, he depleted his savings in less than two years. During that time, his then-girlfriend (now wife) Sheetal Thakur provided financial support, offering him pocket money for attending auditions for many movies.
He ended the discussion by stating that the television industry, characterized by its long, tiring working hours and a 90-day payment cycle, is extremely 바카라exploitative.바카라
