TV is too huge. Can’t compare TV to digital content yet: Sanjeeda Shaikh

Sanjeeda Shaikh talks about the reach of TV and digital media. She says she’d love to do another web series.

Sanjeeda Shaikh has acted in several TV shows including the on-going Love Ka Hai Intezar and recently worked in a web series, Gehraiyaan, too, but the actor still feels there is time for digital content to take off in a big way in India. She says, “I think it will take a little time for people to accept and get used to watching content online regularly… TV is too huge, so I won’t compare digital content to TV yet. People are trying different ideas and stories on the web, which is wonderful, as there is much more one can do with the medium. Also, you can’t show a lot of stuff on TV — I’m not talking about bold scenes, but about concepts that are sort of out there or need a certain kind of audience.”

Sanjeeda Shaikh says it will take a little time for people to accept and get used to watching content online regularly.

Shaikh finds digital content and web series “very satisfying”, as she feels the quality of production is great. The actor says, “I would love to do another web series if something interesting comes up. I don’t want to be part of TV shows that are on air for years, as I get tired after doing a show for a year. It is quite a task to shoot every day.”
