Rakhi on India Tv has accused Star Plus of rigging the votes and using her to raise the TRps.
Jhalak wasn't free of controversies either. So what is the future of such shows? Is every winner going to be considered undeserving? Can a channel really manipulate votes and if so, how can that be proved?
Rakhi says she was used in order to raise tRps. How can one person or pair make such a huge difference in the trps? Or is it being suggested that production houses dealing with the said channel have a greater say in the matter?
Star Plus used some of its actors to request votes from its viewers. What I noticed was this...all Balaji actors supported AS while the non-Balaji ones rooted for RA. This can be viewed in two ways. Either the actors are widely divided in their opinions or the channel is being unbiased.
Whatever the truth is, nothing is going to change unless the voting system changes and people understand what talent shows are about.
With all the controversies raging, the coincidence that both dance shows (NB & JDJ) were won by BT actors is likely to be looked at with askance. Unfortunately, the fact that that all the winners are talented in their own ways will remain debatable.
