Sneha Namanandi says, ‘People of my generation would not like watching dramatic stuff, you know the 90s kids’!

#BadeAccheLagteHain2 actress #SnehaNamanandi says the 90s kids prefer watching reality-based shows. “TV has evolved in the last few years. When I was a kid, I used to watch these television shows which were quite dramatic. In fact, I would say overdramatic,” she said ahead of World Television Day that is observed on November 21. “Now me being a part of a television show, I can see a lot of differences. There’s a lot of reality which I think actually jumped into television shows because the generation has changed. I’m 26, so people of my generation would not like watching dramatic stuff, you know the 90s kids. We like it more real and so, we honestly like watching the kind of shows where there’s reality involved,” she added.

She thinks that shows on Indian TV have evolved. “Because of OTT, the number of television audience has gone down. I can see that now also when I’m doing the show, a lot of people watch shows on OTT only. You can also see a lot of shows which are too real on TV, so people will definitely make it a point to watch it. But yes, I will definitely agree with the point that because of OTT, TV target audience has gone down,” said the owner of the pet cafe The Pet Station in Andheri (West).

But at the same time, she is surprised to know that the younger generation also watches television shows. Also, a lot of people who are above 50 and 60 are watching young OTT shows as well. “I don’t think that age has anything to do with the kind of shows that are being made,” she said.

She watches TV at times. “I like watching comedy shows because I like to be happy. As for my work, I am part of a daily soap. I enjoy doing the drama show a lot because I’ve never been a part of a daily soap. So yes, it’s fun,” said Sneha.
