Nyra Banerjee feels stories explored on the small screen need evolution. The Divya Dristi actor says the show makers have to experiment more and the audience needs to be receptive too.“I feel stories on TV need to be more convincing. Whether it’s a fantasy or a thriller, producers and directors need to get the right kind of people on board, those who can make things look convincing, especially when it comes to fantasy shows. That isn’t easy when it comes to daily soaps because that means a lot of money needs to be invested on a regular basis. But then things can be worked out as well,” she says.The actor, however, is happy that there are a few who are taking the lesser taken path and experimenting. “I’m glad that some producers are venturing into newer stories. Shows become monotonous after a point, all stories feel the same. Some of them turn into domestic dramas, some turn regressive and there are others where the characterisation isn’t good enough. Strong does not mean being shameless. It’s a positive and determined state of mind. Audience want newness, they won’t be satisfied by anything or everything,” she adds. According to the actor, the entertainment industry is a very big influence on the mindset of the audience, which is why it’s important to match pace with growing times.
