सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Watching TV is often a family affair. The 'Prime Time' serials are a major part of the cultural fabric, often discussed in local trains and markets. Younger generations are moving towards 'OTT' platforms, but they still use the phrase 'TV pahane' even when using an iPad or Laptop. In villages, the community TV in a 'Chavadi' (meeting place) was common, though now most homes have their own sets. For Marathi people living abroad, 'TV pahane' via satellite or internet is a key way to stay connected to their roots and language.
