Reality shows and their effects...

Have you noticed the current increase of reality shows on Indian television? Every channel is trying to prove its best in the rat race. Star, Zee, Sony, NDTV, and more are trying to increase their TRPs with the help of reality shows. With Indian television losing its creativity they are borrowing ideas from international channels.

The latest reality show to join the bandwagon is Sach ka Saamna (Moment of Truth original show) which is being aired on Star Plus. Yes, I do watch the show and in fact I am glued to the TV set during the telecast of the show. What attracts me and maybe most other audience would be the intimate questions asked about the contestants personal life. Some celebrities were also called on the show and they had to go through the same set of personal questions. What I keep thinking about is the impact that can happen on the contestant's family.

The other reality show Rakhi ka Swayamvar on NDTV Imagine is utter rubbish. Firstly, I have a terrible dislike for Madam Rakhi...The show is a complete stupidity. I feel she is not serious about her so-called wedding and doing all this for cheap publicity gimmick.. What surprises me is the fact that all the prospective grooms in the show (they all look stupid)...hail from decent families and just for a 10-minute fame have decided to tie the knot with Rakhi...

We as audience are wasting our time and effort watching these reality shows. Moreover with the voting system TV channels are raking in the moolah... Just for the sake of increasing TRPs new dramatised scripts are included to add that extra spice in the show... I feel nothing is real in these shows and everything is conceptualised before.

It's better if we stop watching these meaningless shows and rather put that energy in doing something worthwhile...The bottomline is maybe this minute TV channels must be busy thinking about introducing another reality show in some channel while here I am writing this blog and trying to put some sense in my beloved readers!!!!!!!!!!!!
