where is north eastern region people...no one from assam meghalaya, mizoram nagaland etc...

all the national tv channels avoid north eastern and south

east they go till bengal...south they come to hardly bangalore...but to take contestant from there is very hard...

and in masterchef ...chq the rounds and flavours...they mostly use..rajasthani..gujarathi...lucknowii khana or western or continental...nothing from south or north eastern...

i think the producers like only western and north indian foods that's y they dont get any good contestants from south or north eastern region...or otherwise people from there have to cook western dish...

@bold...so true

Rajshathani dish round was der n all season

but South Indian dish round was introduced n dis season only...dat too oly 4 one round(dhaba)

I think you are really off from the point of discussion. we are talking about ' Hindi' which even though is not the national language but is considered national language by a majority percent. If a Gujarati comes to Punjab, I don't expect Gujarati to speak Punjabi but the language of conversation would be Hindi ( or broken Hindi) if someone doesn't know English. That's why we are discussing about Hindi shows believing that it is one common medium to communicate in India.
If you read carefully, I said when I was vacationing in the South not when I relocated to South.
Just for your clarity the topic of discussion was why do not many auditions happen in the South and why there is less participation of the people from South India. And one reason we think is that Hindi is not a commonly spoken language there and people are more interested in their regional soaps and shows which is not likewise in the North. A person living in Jallandhar or Simla or Panipat would be as interested in a Hindi show as in the regional show or soap.

go to the metros...of south...

@ Bold - That's mainly because the south has been distanced from the rest of India deliberately, as someone totally different. This is because the seat of power (Parliament) is in north India. Well that is the reality & can't be changed.

And you're talking about South Indians speaking their own language, I've seen the same with Marathis, Bengalis, Gujaratis.

Bengalis are very tourist welcoming and will speak Hindi if you want them to but throughout all my three trips I have seen people in TN having the least intention to speak in Hindi...Eastern India is a lot more deprived than the south but still we share deep roots with ppl from other states...

I have toured Kerala extensively and it is definitely the most beautiful state of India...I have shot thrice in AP and Ktaka is lot cosmopolitan so the whole perception is of TN...not other states!

@bold...may be U r true...I thnk people from Hyd, Banglr, Cochin knws hindi better than TN people...I m nt sure though

Tamilians always promote deir mother tongue

Well would like to differ on the point of Tamilnadu ppl dont prefer speaking in hindi.Let me tell you a few things it all depends on where you and the people u interact.If you are in tier 1 cities in any state u get good response for hindi or english tier 2 is a bit different so again depends on the place blore u can hindi ppl will respond other cities in ktaka it may not be the case.Dont want to indulge into a language divide just wanted to point this out

Regional stereotypes remain and exist for every region, not just south. Just like South Indian characters are shown with a particular dressing style, accent, and lingo in our movies and serials, so are many other characters - I have seen Bengali characters being projected as being completely unreal, weird dressing, dialect and what not! Almost making a mockery of the culture. It is very hard to digest that for anyone from that region who knows how things are on the ground.

well I m talking about chennai...until recently I have toured TN thrice but never ever have I found more than half a dozen tamil or not even that much willing to speak in english even not to forget their particular distaste for Hindi...however that is not the case when I was out on a schedule in Bellary..even the local ppl who were hired tried to speak in Hindi and make us feel comfortable...
