With a growing love for the digital space, the small screen is paying the price, do you agree?
“Of course, I agree, PRTs are the main factor determining the fate of television today and literally no show works. The TRPs have come down by leaps and bounds and it is not a good sign for television,” Nia told IANS.
"I am sure that the makers and producers are doing their best to give their best and win back the love of the audience," she added.
Nia is currently seen playing a “witch” in a supernatural show, a genre that is not new to her as she previously worked in the show “Naagin”.
What draws you to the supernatural genre was Pat's response: “It's not up to me to choose my job. It just so happened that after four years I came across a fantasy thriller show again. It wasn't a conscious choice that I immediately said yes to a show like this, but as I progressed and got to know the character more I realized that this was a role tailor-made for me.
“More than me, the creators wanted me to do it. They showed their immense faith in me. "It was respectful."
The actress took a break from the small screen for a few years before saying yes to “Suhagan Chudail”, which airs on Colors.
“I'm proud to tell everyone that I've worked enough in television. Everything that happened in the last three years really wasn't to my liking and I didn't really see myself being associated with those shows.”
She revealed the reason why she decided to stay away from the small screen, despite a lot of work ahead of her.
Nia said: “It's not that I wasn't putting on a lot of show, I was, but I wasn't interested and didn't want to continue. I wanted to experiment more with web shows and few were on the radar but they didn't take off…”
“That process took three years and I also stayed away from genre fiction, but this show, like the filmmakers, said it was made for me.”
