In
London, I was exposed to television from a very |
| |
young age. When the
gauntlet was thrown at me |
| |
(by Mr. A.G. Krishnamurthy - Mudra) to
produce, host |
| |
and direct my own television show, I took up
the |
| |
exciting challenge - and discovered the magic of
|
| |
TV technology! I got hooked!
|
| |
And the fascination
continues even today.. |
| |
|
| |
Just remember this was the early 80s.
There was only Doordarshan then and basic cradle
technology! |
| |
|
| |
When you are a pioneer you
have to be ready for a
lot of opposition.
People take time to adjust to something new.
I learned this from my very first television show. |
| |
|
| |
'It's
a Woman's World was a glossy, magazine style format,
with
new techniques and topics never done before in India.
We
had fitness workouts, fashion, grooming, Agony Aunt,
interviews,
astrology
and debates. Audiences had not been exposed to foreign
television
then - and the reactions were extreme. |
|
| |
|
| |
The
press lashed out. 'Its too glamorous'...'How can she put
Astrology on the show??'..
'How can she bring out such a
private topic as infidelity?' There morchas outside
Doordarshan!
It's amusing for me to see that today
full television shows are created on all our small
segments! |
|
| |
|
| |
I guess it was
just way ahead of its time... |
