mahesh thakur has been part of both mediums television as well as films while he has done movies such as hum saath saath hai barsaat and bluffmaster among others on the small screen he has been seen in shows like shararat malini iyer and udaan the actor however refuses to choose one medium over the other mahesh says i dont like the differentiation between tv and films if you look at say shah rukh khan he made a transition from the small screen to films he did a show that didnt do well but despite that he found a career in btown its just a medium most big screen stars like amitabh bachchan salman khan shah rukh khan and sridevi have done television we still watch salman on tv doing bigg boss and amitji doing kaun banega crorepati so people should not disregard television tv is a medium that people can enjoy in the comfort of their homes while films need to be enjoyed in theatres at the end of the day the audience is still the same the same people are watching tv at home and when required go to cinemas to watch a film if people think that films are big followed by television and then social media that is no longer the case all these concepts are being broken mahesh also feels that there is a lot more scope of learning different things when an actor does television he adds all hit shows on tv are fiction shows theres a lot of work satisfaction when one does tv because of the sheer variety of things that one can do i feel i have gathered a lot of experience by doing television tv actors are also more polished in remembering their lines and expressing emotions as compared to someone who has just worked in a couple of films
