Manav Gohil Claims TV Has Lost Its ‘Collaborative Spirit' And ‘Balance'
Last Updated: Manav Gohil mentioned that he began his career as an actor on TV and is proud of it. Manav Gohil rose to prominence as a television actor after appearing in the popular Hindi daily soap Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. Since then, he's portrayed a variety of parts on both small and large screens. Now, the actor has also ventured into the regional cinema space with his latest film Jalebi Rocks. The actor is more inclined towards taking up regional projects and claims that television has lost its 'collaborative spirit". Talking about the television landscape changing over the years, Manav Gohil told Hindustan Times, 'Back in the day, we all adjusted — producers, actors, everyone was willing to collaborate and make it work. There was patience and the focus was on building something together Today, that balance seems to be missing. The process has become more transactional, and I feel that's affecting the quality and longevity of shows. But that's a shift we only realised after stepping away and observing from the outside." When asked if being dubbed a 'TV actor' despite working in films concerns him, Manav mentioned that he began his career as an actor on TV and is proud of it. He said, 'It's not about the medium, it's about the work. I'm an actor first." After being in the entertainment business for more than two decades, the actor reflected on his journey and says he's constantly trying to evolve as an actor. He noted that every time he revisits an old performance, Manav feels it could have been done differently. Manav, who has appeared in popular shows like Yeh Meri Life Hai, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Main Hoon Aparajita and most recently in Tenali Rama 2. Tenali Rama stars Krishna Bharadwaj in the title role, Pankaj Berry as Tathacharya, Krishnadevraya's father figure, Manav Gohil as Maharaja Krishnadevaraya, Jiten Mukhi as Mahamantri Timmarasu, who is later replaced by Amit Pachori, Sumit Kaul as Girgit Raj, and Pavitra Punia as Laila. The series has established a distinct identity with its unique blend of humour, wisdom and Indian tradition. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Stop Killing Games movement mysteriously accused of violating EU transparency laws; Ross Scott responds
(Image via @Accursed_Farms/YouTube) A viral campaign to stop publishers from deleting games has found itself in an unexpected spotlight this week. The Stop Killing Games movement, known for its bold stance on digital ownership, is facing allegations that it violated EU transparency rules, claims that have since sparked both outrage and support across Europe's gaming community. Mysterious complaint targets unpaid work by popular campaign figure Ross Scott On Thursday, July 18, 2025, social media started buzzing after reports emerged that the European Commission received a quiet but serious complaint targeting the Stop Destroying Video Games Initiative, the official EU-facing campaign aligned with Stop Killing Games. The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative The complaint names Ross Scott, widely credited with sparking the movement, as someone who allegedly provided undisclosed professional services worth over €100,000 in labor. But the twist? Scott says he's not even a member of the official initiative, and his work has been entirely unpaid and voluntary. Complaint timing raises eyebrows as lobbying pressure mounts What's raised even more suspicion is the timing. The Stop Killing Games movement has recently gained momentum across the continent, rallying players who want to keep access to the games they've paid for, even after publishers pull the plug. Several MEPs, including Vice President Nicolae Ștefănuță, have expressed vocal support for the cause. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Premium 3 & 4 BHK ( 1079 - 1829 ) from ₹72.03 Lacs* at Jessore Road Srijan Realty Learn More Undo The campaign has also been featured in major gaming forums and YouTube channels. Now, with the legal complaint suddenly emerging, some supporters smell foul play. Scott believes the anonymous move may be part of a coordinated effort to silence the campaign, especially after industry groups like Video Games Europe issued sharp criticisms of his work earlier this year. EU documents may already clear Scott of wrongdoing Interestingly, this isn't the first time Scott's role has come up. Back in early 2024, the initiative reportedly discussed his involvement with EU officials, and no objections were raised then. If proven, that could directly undermine the legitimacy of the current complaint. For now, the EU Commission has yet to respond publicly, and it remains unclear whether a formal investigation will follow. Whether this complaint fizzles out or escalates further, one thing's certain; the fight to preserve digital games just got a lot more political.
