However, the channel was allowed to show a few serials on a reciprocal basis with CCTV – China Central Tv. Zee Tv, which has been lobbying with the Chinese government for a long time now was initially denied landing rights due to concerns over programmes with religious content, or any references to the Tibetan religious leader the Dalai Lama who is in exile in India, may be broadcast. Opening the door to Indian entertainment, Zee Tv Asia Pactific will be broadcasted in three star-plus hotels all over China. On March 27th, CTV-STVP the country’s only agent that is allowed to distribute foreign channels gave Zee Tv Asia Pacific landing rights in China. What took six years to complete though is a huge cultural influence on the nation. Today, almost 40 years later, Zee Tv’s soap operas are contorting young Chinese hearts in a similar way. Raj Kapoor’s impact on China has been that of a megastar, the hero of the first few foreign films the Chinese saw, he played their struggle, their joys and their love stories on the silver screen. He also has his own Chinese name and humming the tune of – Aawara Hoon Mein – can turn anybody down memory lane.
