Why TV Shows - Serials are dominated by actors over 40?


If you take a look at various TV shows and serials, you will see that there are more male actors than female actors. Not only that, but in most of the TV shows, only male actors over the age of 40 are coming in the lead roles. In addition, there are no artists aged 50 or under. Why has the scenario of established TV artists gradually changed and only artists over the age of 40 are playing an important and central role? The names of Sudhanshu Pandey, Manav Gohil, Shabir Ahluwalia, Siddhant Suryavanshi and Amar Upadhyay are enough for this. Do you know what all these artists have in common? All of these actors are over 40 years old and are playing lead roles in TV shows. And the audience is enjoying their acting. The actors also enjoy their effective role and thus the situation is proving to be favorable not only for both, but for all.

Of course, these established actors are facing age-related issues, but most of their acting careers are over 30 years of age. Well known artist of 'Anupama' Sudhanshu Pandey is 6 years old. He says, 'I believe that the age of 40 is the new age of 50. If you ask me, all the artists in their 50s are in the spotlight. Working and their acting is also the best. At the age of 70, everything goes very well. I believe that the age of 70 is a new beginning of life. And its viewers appreciate and even love. The interesting thing is that most of the people who follow me on Instagram are between 18 and 6 years old.

TV serials based on youth love stories are currently dominant, with very few young people being offered, but most of the senior actors are the heroes. Manav Gohil, who has played the lead role in many serials, is 3 years old. He acknowledges that in the recent past, things have changed for artists over the age of 40. He explained that it is rare in good shows to have a well-developed character. The amount of mature lovestories has increased and there are few such opportunities in TV. I don't like working more in shows. Finally I did the 'Shaadi Mubarak' serial. I think I started getting a good job at the age of 70. I don't look very good. I am energetic and can control my style. I think 60 years of age was good for me to work and I enjoyed it. Would I have done this at the age of 40-50, it is a very different experience, but at the age of 70 it is very powerful.

8 year old Amar Upadhyay enjoys his show every day after being in a dormant state for a long time, who works in 'Molkadi'. Amar thinks, 'Established artists have Osh and more ability to understand scenes. Look at Shabir, he is 21 years old. Which has been doing ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ for the last seven years. It is fantastic. Now, with the era of OTT, a lot of content is being streamed from many platforms. How can TV shows withstand its acceptability and quality? It takes time to hire senior actors and they are the ones who can pull the show on their shoulders. '

Siddhant Suryavanshi, who is 6 years old, admits that the competition with OTT is a big driving force for this change. "It's hard to get a good role in a serial," says the actor of 'Kya Risto Mein Katti Batti'. Among them, it becomes difficult when young people like shows. It’s not like the actor is irrelevant. Writers and creators do not bring anything real. Today the content has changed and viewers are ready to expose a variety of stories. ' He said.

Rajesh Srungarpure is 6 years old and works in 'Punyashlok Ahilya Bai'. He believes that with age he became pure and his experience sharpened his performance. ‘This is a healthy sign. Because the main characters are over 40 years old. TV is now experimenting with adult artists and is also welcome. Because the audience also enjoys his good acting. Even in Hollywood, many actors are in their 50s and 70-year-olds play lead roles in shows and films, ”he said.
