‘My wife yelled at me’: Rohit Roy reacts after TV actors attack his ‘dustbin medium’ remark

Rohit Roy has explained his controversial statement about television being a "dustbin medium." In a conversation with Lehren Retro, he clarified that he was criticizing the quality of content on the small screen, not the actors working in the industry. Rohit admitted his choice of words was wrong but maintained that television content needs improvement.

He also addressed the personal attacks from some actors, stating he never called anyone garbage. Rohit Roy explained that his criticism targeted the industry's working conditions and content quality rather than the people involved. He compared television content to a newspaper, emphasizing that the content, like a newspaper, becomes useless after a certain period.

Despite the controversy, Rohit stood by his statement, acknowledging that his choice of words could have been better.
