This surge in popularity has prompted a noticeable concern within Indian channels and media circles.
They find themselves grappling with the declining prominence of once-famous and trending Indian dramas.
In a recent interaction with the media, Sushant Singh openly shared his apprehensions.
He engaged in a detailed conversation about the diminishing quality of Indian content.
He said: “Look at our neighbour, Pakistan which is seen as an enemy, yet they’re making amazing content?
“Look at what they’re doing and look at ours.
“What are we giving to our people? Why are we making subpar content? Why do we resist change when criticised? Will we keep making mediocre content?
“What’s our message to actors and viewers – stay or leave, we won’t change? Do we even want to change?
“We’ve made great content in tough conditions, so let’s fight for quality and keep getting better.”
He emphasised his wish for the actors’ community to be recognised as an influential and impactful voice.
Sushant Singh’s viewpoint strongly resonated with Indian audiences, garnering widespread agreement from many viewers who shared his sentiments.
An increasing number of individuals express the sentiment that Pakistani productions stand out as some of the best in the industry.
