Archana Puran Singh talks about India daily soaps; says, “Tv have regressed in terms of content”

Archana Puran Singh, who is known for her laughter and for judging The Kapil Sharma show, strongly feels that Indian soaps need to get better.

During a recent interview with BT, Archana talked about it and said, “TV shows are just getting regressive every day. When I did a show Mr Ya Mrs in the late 80s, women were shown to step out, work, and earn for the family and the husband had the role of looking after house jobs. I am not saying that it should be a practice but it was a progressive show, which talked about role reversals. Can we show anything close to that now?”

She added, “Currently, TV shows portray how the woman is always crying, touching people’s feet, and always sacrificing her needs and wants before others. It is a woman-centric medium and shows revolve around women but they are playing characters, which are not progressive. We need a big change in the content and the way women are portrayed on television.”
