With TV liberally showcasing the reality of people onscreen, we begin to wonder if there are boundaries to be considered. A remark on similar lines was made by Shoojit Sircar, the director of popular Bollywood film Piku starring Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan.

In a twitter post, the director aired his opinion about the effects on children who are exposed to the glare of cameras at a tender age.

He wrote an open request to authorities urging them to place a ban on TV reality shows that involve children.

Sa Re Ga ma Pa Li'l Champs 2017, Sabse Bada Kalakar, India's Best Dramebaaz and Super Dancer are a few reality shows that gained quite a bit of popularity with viewers. We wonder if the director is pointing out to any current shows.

His choice of movies were very unique and symbolized the essence of the times in the 80s. A piece of me went with him. RIP Mr Sheikh, a life well lived.
