Recalling the shows of the 80s and 90s in a conversation with news agency PTI, Kitu Gidwani says, ‘Surely remembering that time you get lost in nostalgia. It was an era of creativity. This was not the era when you bowed down to any channel. The makers were given freedom for their creativity. All kinds of serials were being made. Be it Doordarshan, DD Metro or private satellite channels.

Kitu further says, ‘You remember the shows of that era, ‘Banegi Apni Baat’, ‘Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi’, had excellent and good comedy. Govind Nihalani’s ‘Tamas’ was a fun thriller. It was wonderful. Today we ourselves have to achieve that level with our creativity and intelligence.
Kitu Gidwani’s advice to OTT platforms
Kitu Gidwani’s web series ‘Potluck Season-2’ will stream on ‘Sony Live’ from February 24 this month. Kittu says, “The purpose and the entire focus of digital platforms should be to deliver differentiated content. Otherwise, if you want, you can go back to the 2000s and 2010s, where ‘saas-bahu’ serials used to run. I want to appeal to all the producers and OTT platforms that they should not make the mistake of TV. Don’t create similar content, don’t follow herd rule like television.
