Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya, who has worked with Salman Khan in most of his films, doesn't like the superstar's controversial reality show "Bigg Boss".
"I don't like 'Bigg Boss'. I don't watch that (Weekend Ka Vaar episode where Salman Khan comes)," Barjatya said in an interview here.
"Actually, I don't watch much television. I do see bit of the new shows. I like 'Shakti', 'Shani' (TV shows)," he quipped.
Barjatya was speaking on the sidelines of launch of his new TV show "Ek Shringaar... Swabhimaan".
"Ek Shringaar... Swabhimaan" highlights Sharda's (Prachee Shah Pandya) determination in not only providing the best education for her daughters, but also finding a suitable match for them in a family that will allow her daughters' careers to flourish rather than tie them down to domesticity.
"I have niece who is working with a top multinational company and is drawing a very good salary, she goes abroad three-four times a year on a holiday with her family. The family was looking for a boy but the condition was that she has to quit her job," the "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" helmer said.
With a modern outlook coupled with traditional values, "Ek Shringaar...Swabhimaan", produced by Rajshri Productions, will go on air from December 19 on Colors channel.
