Producer
Ravindra Gautam’s Meri Durga seems to have not only found an ardent fan
following in adults, but in children too. The show has been recently awarded
the best children’s show at the ITA awards. “We got the best children's show
award at ITA Awards recently. It has given a big boost to us and the whole team
as it requires extreme hard work to make a show like this with such a different
theme based on sports and to make it work amidst a sea of popular Saas bahu
sagas,” says Ravindra.
The
producer adds that there is a need to make more shows for children today.
“Children’s shows have almost vanished. There are no children’s shows as such.
Our show was about a child and about her dreams, which we showed for a good six
months. In today's day and age, children are just used to show the childhood of
an actor for one month or two months. The problems children face today are
hardly shown. My show was based on that, made on that and we are happy that it
got the award for the Best Children Show. More than the best show award I like
the tagline children’s show. I think it will be a step ahead making children
watch television again because children hardly watch television now. If I got
the Best Children Show Award then I think children are watching and coming back
to television,” he says.
He
adds, “I think the era in which shows like Kacchi Dhup, Ek Do Teen Chaar were
there, television was not a money-spinning medium. Now it's a money-spinning
medium. Everything is about money, TRPs and the children’s shows don't come
into the main categories of daily soaps.”
Ravindra,
himself, has a teenager son Aaroh at home and says that he, too, doesn’t have
much to catch on the tube. “He doesn't watch television, especially daily
soaps, he doesn't watch at all. He only watches YouTube content and he watches
Netflix. He used to watch Meri Durga only till Durga was a child because he
says there is no entertainment for him on television. In mythological shows, children have scope to
be interested, but not in daily soaps. In mythological shows, I really think
that children learn more about our culture.
I think in the reality shows are just using children to make money,” he
says.
