'Television is definitely a demanding medium, and the connection with the audience is huge. People see our faces daily, so they start recognising us from the characters we play. 'I feel TV is a great medium, but at the same time, it can become boring because we follow the same process almost every day,' she said. 'TV is a very hard-working medium, and it really tests your patience. Sometimes it gets to your head—you feel like you're just doing a job because you have to finish so many scenes daily. But still, you have to do it with love, especially in my case since I'm doing a comedy show,' she added. But despite the challenges, it's the connection that she builds with the audience on a daily basis that keeps her going. She added, 'These days, people say OTT has taken over, but I still know so many families who sit together, have dinner, and watch a comedy show on TV. Not everyone is always on OTT.' Sonal stresses that TV shows have secured a place for themselves and will remain irreplaceable. She said, 'TV still has its place and charm, and I'm happy to be doing a show like this. After all, not every family wants to sit and cry watching something sad. A light-hearted comedy show is nice for a family to watch together, and that makes me feel good. TV is still a great medium in my eyes, just very hard-working.' Keep reading this space for more updates.
