Recently, Sushant Singh expressed his worries on the situation of the Indian television business
Actor Sushant Singh from India has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Indian television business, drawing parallels with Pakistani shows and highlighting the necessity for reform. Singh questioned Indian content and the way people who speak out against injustices are treated in a video that Bollywood Bubble Television published.
“Look at their content, our neighboring country that we keep calling our enemy,” the celebrity declared. Examine the material you have created. Why do we behave this way? Why do we assign victimship to those who voice complaints? Does this convey the message we wish to convey? Please refrain from criticizing us; we don’t want to change. That’s just the way things are. Accept it or get out.”
“You lose work if you speak up,” he continued. Is that the global message that producers and broadcasters wish to convey? This spirit of feudalism? That is the question we have. Do we not desire to adapt? If not, state that you are opposed to change.”
Singh went on to mention a documentary called Living on the Edge: Deglamourising Bollywood, which was directed by Opender Chanana and has won almost a hundred international prizes. He talked about how the documentary, which exposed the working conditions in Bollywood, shocked the world when it was screened. Singh also discussed actor unions and how the Indian Broadcasting Forum was contacted to start a conversation about improving the current working conditions.
Singh stated, “Whether or not our actors agree, whether or not shooting closes down when there is a strike call, let this message be very clear: there are some very powerful unions backing us and all the international players – all of the channels included, given their parent country is elsewhere, barring one or two – you will be questioned by our sister unions at your home bases.”
He emphasized, “Please do not ignore us.” “We no longer want to be a little voice. We’ll go as far as is required.We’re going to battle. Attempt to mistreat us? We will not back down.” Singh went on to list other wrongdoings, such as the choice of an arbitrator who had a glaring conflict of interest and the arbitrator’s unwillingness to acknowledge counsel throughout the arbitration. He described an instance in which 19 association members took part in the arbitration of two members, posing questions regarding the fairness and transparency of the dispute resolution procedures used by the sector.
