MUMBAI: Prashant Bajaj, who has been part of successful shows like “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah” and “Ayushmann Bhava” is thrilled with newer content being attempted on television but believes family dramas will continue to dominate the medium. Despite a wide range of subjects being explored on the small screen, Prashant believes family dramas will always be the driving force for TV. “Family dramas are the USP for housewives and older women. Such shows will always remain evergreen.

Family audiences will still stick to family dramas,” he adds. When asked about the trend of thrillers and supernatural dramas being made on TV, Prashant believes children are more likely to be fascinated by this genre. Now, with the influx of varied stories being carved out on TV, Prashant is scouting for challenging and meaty parts to play on screen. “You need to do different things at every different stage of our lives. Taking challenges keeps all actors self motivated and also audiences would love to see their favourites actors in different roles,” he adds. Talking about playing challenging roles, Prashant believes his role in “Ayushman Bhava” has been the most challenging in his career so far. “I was playing the role of a spy. It was challenging in many ways like I had to change my variation of acting, etc,” he adds.
