During an interview Diljit said, “If children are not on TV shows, they are happily showcasing their talent on various online platforms. So, why blame TV alone? I started my career as a singer at the age of 18 and social media has played a huge part in it. For small actors who do not have a PR agency, social media is a great platform to connect directly with the audience.” (Photo: Instagram)

He further added, “Television is not the only medium, which is exploring the talent of children. Nor do they become celebs by making appearances or participating only on music reality shows. They are aware of various platforms online, where they can participate and showcase their talent.’’ (Photo: Instagram)

TV is not damaging or exploiting anything here… it is this current trend that is capturing children’s talent and putting them in the spotlight,” Diljit said. (Photo: Instagram)
