She says, “The story is very simple yet beautiful. Characters have been well-etched and the execution is also very good. I feel strong characters do help shape the story better. The reason being the way characters influence the action and make the narrative of a story more real and thus relatable to the audience.” Speaking about the change in content on TV, Kajal says, “What audiences want is freshness – freshness in terms of perspective, characters, look and absolutely everything. So, even if audiences are served a saas-bahu story with a different perspective and relatable characters, there’s no reason that it shouldn’t work. Viewers, have been exposed to a lot of content given there are so many OTT platforms that they have access to. So, they are continuously evolving, and demand fresh and new content every day.”
