TBT: Sridevi in a serial on TV? July 1985, Showtime

What will lure stars to TV?
Showtime, July 1985

Sridevi

"Truly, I haven't given much thought to working in serials. I do watch TV in Madras, but whenever I'm in Bombay, there's no chance as I rush from one place to another to shoot in multiple shifts. Programmes like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi are relayed in Madras, and whenever there's the opportunity I watch them. I really like Yeh Jo Hai... it's so naughty and humourous! In fact, I'd met Swaroop Sampat sometime back and told her about how she's become such a big star by working in this serial and in such a short time she's a known face throughout the country! TV offers this advantage of viewing stars in the comfort of your home, you don't have to queue up at the box-office for tickets to see us!

If I weren't faced with the problem of not having any dates to spare until the end of 1988, I would consider working on television,. At the moment my routine is getting up early in the morning, going to a studio to shoot for one film in the 9am shift and rushing to another place at 4 or 5pm to shoot for another until late in the evening."
