Kannada television director TN Seetharam's popular show Maha Parva is said to be a political drama. As it is fiction on screen, the director often makes it a point to have his cast meet the audience directly. The team was recently in Shimoga where they addressed two full houses as part of the Samvada.
Shashank Purushotham, one of the lead actors of this show, says, "This was the first time I was a part of such a meeting and the kind of adoration that the people have for an onscreen character is overwhelming. Of course, they also had thousands of questions regarding the characters we play on the show. And that made for some really interesting debates that brought out various opinions and points of view of our audience. It was a really interesting experience."
