Whenever I watch Sourabh Dwivedi's interviews, I can't help feel that he tries to be smarter than his guests.. Just a little bit of respect and humbleness would be nice..

[@hemant30ray]

I too feel that... always interrupts in between.....as well as behaves like he knows the guests behind the scenes as well. I mean if u really know them ,even then u have to take interview from audience perspective.

The only reason TVF is successful is the fact that they hire writers on salary, give them time to write and ensure they collaborate with directors...also ensuring they are available in set...no wonder the episodes come up so amazingly...hope the big production houses start doing this and not only signing actors for multiple films

[@abhisekdas-1]

@@kriativt2794 obviously...but I believe this is one of most important difference with regular Bollywood production houses...I know even Ekta kapoor pays most to her writers because of the insane work they have to do for the TV serials ...But the impact of an in-house writer can be seen even with SS Rajamouli having his dad as the main writer for his various Magnum opus

[@RAIRADIO]

Most production houses do that. All ekta kapoor writers are salaried.

[@imaandaarladka3976]

Most honest and best interview I've seen ever. Here's few important points from the interview, * TVF is working on Pitchers S2. ❤️ * Panchayat S3 will have an episode on Mid-day meals. * TVF is planning to create 10 seasons on Panchayat, if things go well. * Panchayat S3 will be based in Phulera, and not any new village where Sacheev gets transferred. Watch the complete entertaining episode to know more about how TVF works in general. ❤️

@@naikonkar The difference here is their matter was domestic violence between husband and wife and here it's the pure sexual abuse. There it was between Amber and Johnny, here it is between Arunabh and more than 10 women (not quoting over 50 who reported their incidents). In India, the irony is that women still feel pressure of society and family. Then they move on to another job and trying to forget whatever happened to them. Only after one lady reported the incident, several others came forward. I hope court completes the process soon.

There were 2 KZbin Powerhouse in the last decade ...AIB and TVF. But only one of them came out as a winner and the another one died due to controversies. Both have contrasting features. AIB started with the English language centric stand up community. And they had more brand deals because of their connections with Bollywood. However TVF start Hua IIT ke dreamers ke saath jo Heartwarming and funny content ko apne personal slice of life se lekar aye. AIB hip aur funny channel ban Gaya. Aur TVF silently, mass ko apne heartwarming stories se touch kar Gaya. Students se le kar Dada daadi ke contents ban Gaye. But AIB aur TVF dono accha balance banaye huye the. Sadly AiB disappeared...
