Re: Parents dont permit work in showbiz?
religious and cultural inhibitions, a fear of stepping out of the norm and doing something that is not considered a 'respectable' profession in our society.
Of late the tv industry is getting a well-educated lot from very respectable families, they have been successful but i'm sure it was a struggle to earn that respect in a society such as ours which has pre-conceived notions regarding artists and their family backgrounds. we all love watching our dramas and love critiquing their work but I find that an element of respect is missing for them. artists are openly called names such as kanjars and mirasis, just do a search on these words on this very forum and you will find artists referred to with these names. What parent in their right mind would want to invite this onslaught of abuse upon them or their children.
