Ravi Kishan wants National Awards to finally recognize TV actors
At the trailer launch of "Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun On The Run," actor Ravi Kishan supported producer Binaifer Nakra Kohli's push for a separate National Award category for TV actors.
Kohli pointed out, "TV actors don't have a national award. Anupama's Rajan ji (Rajan Shahi), me, JD ji and some big actors have made an appeal that TV actors give you the most revenue. TV actors, whether it's regional, full all over India, do many, many hours of shooting, which is not for films. So, it generates much more job opportunities for people."
Kishan promised, "This is a good suggestion, definitely. I will definitely put forward a proposal to the government that the TV serials, which are very popular, there should be an award category for that actor as well."
Why does this matter?
TV stars put in serious work but do not have a National Award category.
Kohli's point is that their impact—on both audiences and jobs—is huge, so it's time they got some official recognition.
