Saanand Verma on TV vs Films: 'Television Is Tough, But Cinema Offers Longevity'

Actor Saanand Verma discusses the challenges and rewards of working in television compared to films He highlights the demanding nature of TV due to long schedules and frequent script changes.

Television offers a broad reach, allowing actors to connect directly with audiences in their homes However, the rise of OTT platforms has expanded this reach, making TV content more accessible.

One downside of television, Verma notes, is the limited shelf life of shows Actors are remembered only while their shows are airing, and they might struggle to find work once a show ends.

Verma points out that actors often face periods of unemployment between TV projects, sometimes resorting to smaller jobs to make ends meet

In contrast, films provide a longer-lasting presence for actors Movies remain in public memory for years, and actors maintain their fame even without frequent releases.

Verma cites examples of film actors like Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan, who remain well-known and have lasting fan bases regardless of recent releases

He emphasizes the power of cinema to give actors enduring recognition, as audiences continue to watch and enjoy films from years or even decades ago
