Buy a Amazon Fire TV Stick for 4k or A95X (2gb ram, 16gb internal) from gearbest for 37$ (~2.5k)
You would need working HDMI port. There is no other way to "convert" your TV to smart one otherwise.

Try to repair HDMI port and use Chromecast or Firestick.

There was another thread on this forum which talked about Android on Pi. You can Google the same as well. But, I don't know it will be of any use without HDMI port.

Dropped the idea. Cost + Effort spent is higher than just getting the A95x.

This was going for 37$ last week and I'm pretty sure would go for the same again sometime.

This one have AV output

I don't think AV output would support 1080p resolution. Seriously, get that HDMI port fixed. Don't buy a pi for the sole purpose of trying to convert your tv to "smart" one.

yes i am getting HDMI port fixed today
