Ekta started making TV serials like YRF: Sudha Chandran

Sudha Chandran was an inspiration already before she forayed in the glam biz. Since her first Bollywood release 'Nache Mayuri', a film based on her real-life story and how she braved out of a tragic accident and started dancing again; Sudha has never looked back and it's been almost three decades that this versatile artist has been entertaining the nation and globe via various mediums.
Interestingly, she doesn't mind being recognized as a TV actor. Pleasantly honest and grounded, Sudha says, "TV is what made me a star. It rescued me when I had no work and gave me recognition." Sudha says, "Mostly we are addicted to television shows for two reasons; whether it's because we get to connect with the story-line as somewhat similar is faced by all of us, or otherwise it gives you something which is totally fictional, unrealistic but catchy. But then, Ekta changed all the rules. She started making television like Yash Raj films; her serials were lavish and larger than life. It was time of gloss and plastic." But she also says that, the plastic phase is over.
"TV is changing for good. I'm glad that the leveling is happening when we are blending the fiction with real-life treatment. Actors were also ridiculously overpaid in that era. Seldom, I used to ask myself 'Sudha, do you even deserve this much'. But we all went with the flow. Now, we all are paid for what we deliver and it feels good."
