Today, 21 November is observed as the World Television Day. There is no doubt that strong storytelling has the power to captivate minds. We can call television the medium of entertainment, but there is much more that people derive from it. For an actor who is part of this wonderful medium, it is a sense of pride to be known as a performer. Aarya Babbar, who essays the role of Kalikant in Zee TV’s Jagriti-Ek Nayi Subah is happy to be known as a performer who has the ability in him to play different characters and win hearts.
He says, “On World Television Day, I am reminded of the power of storytelling that television brings to the world. For me, being part of this industry is a privilege and a responsibility.”
Talking vividly about the importance of television to the layman, Aarya states, “Television isn’t just entertainment; it’s a medium that connects people, cultures, and ideas. It has the unique ability to transport viewers into different worlds, offer new perspectives, and bring light to stories that might otherwise go unheard.”
As an actor, I get to be a voice within this powerful platform, portraying characters that reflect society’s struggles, joys, and complexities. Knowing that my work can reach and resonate with so many people is incredibly rewarding. I am grateful to be part of this dynamic world of television, where every scene and story has the potential to impact lives and inspire change. Here’s to more storytelling, more connection, and more representation—Happy World Television Day!”
