Actor Rohit Roy comments that television actors lack “style and class,” and he characterizes TV as a “dustbin medium.” In his remarks, he contrasts what he says is film actors’ presence in public with television performers’ perceived sophistication.
NDTV and the Times of India report the same broad claims, though they differ slightly in detail. Times of India adds Roy’s view that social-media popularity for TV actors does not translate into wider respect, and it argues cinema will continue to be seen as the more enduring legacy medium. NDTV focuses more directly on the style-and-class comparison, without the additional commentary on social media or long-term legacy.
Across both outlets, Roy’s comments center on the hierarchy he perceives between film and television acting, and his assessment that TV carries a lower status than cinema.
