Mumbai, May 28 || Popular television actor Shabbir Ahluwalia shared his thoughts on how the landscape of TV storytelling has undergone a significant transformation.
According to him, the days of relying on formulaic plots and predictable narratives are gradually giving way to more unconventional and experimental content. Shabbir revealed that this shift, driven largely by changing audience preferences, is opening up exciting new opportunities for actors, writers, and producers to explore fresh ideas and break traditional boundaries. When asked about the biggest difference between his earlier projects and the shows of today, Ahluwalia pointed to a significant shift in audience preferences.
The ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ actor stated, “I think the audience has changed a lot. Earlier, there were certain formulas that always worked. But today, viewers are more open to experimentation. That allows us to do more unconventional shows—like this one. In our story, the male lead is very eccentric, very different from the usual portrayals. The female lead, on the other hand, loves life and is quite the opposite. You rarely saw such pairings before. But now, because the audience is more accepting, we get the chance to try something new. It's exciting to be a part of that evolution.”
