7 South-Indian Super Stars Television Gifted Us!

Indian Television is becoming worse and worse every passing day. We see 10-year-old boy courting an 18-year-old girl and main lead turning into a housefly, and for some apparent reason, snakes have become the main subject for every serial. So yeah, Television is going bad; it is missing the young audience. Many people complain all this, but come what may; Television does sometimes do good things. For example, it has given us talents that are hard to find. Though the Silver screen is all fascinating, it doesn’t give the required platform for budding artists, while T.V does that for you. If you do not believe me, let me give you six stars whom we love and adore, who started it on the small screen.

 

Nazriya Nazim: The Bangalore Days star is always one of the favourite actors of Tamil and Malayalam Industry. However, she did not start her career on the silver screen. Nazriya has worked as the anchor of Shruthilayam; a musical program aired on Kairali TV. Later, she hosted Munch star singer junior, which was aired on Asianet.

 

Nayanthara: The lady superstar Nayanthara is one of India highest-paid actresses and any movie of hers is a definite hit in recent years. However, did you know that she was an anchor in Kairali TV? Director Sathyan Anthikad approached her to play the female lead in the movie Manassinakkare opposite Jayaram. The rest is history.

 

Siva Karthikeyan: He is easily one of the best finds of Vijay TV. The actor rose to great heights in a very short span of time and is now considered equal to Dhanush and Simbu. He began his career as a dancer and television personality at STAR Vijay; he participated in Kalakka Povathu Yaaru and later in the dance competition show Jodi Number One.

Director-actor friend Simbu gave him his first break. It was all that the talent needed to establish himself in the Industry. He is one of most successful comedian of Tamil Industry and is now venturing out as a hero.
