After judging four reality shows, director-choreographer Farah Khan will be back to sit on the judges panel of Nach Baliye 4 with Arjun Rampal and Karisma Kapoor. Here's what she told us about the show, reality television and her mistakes:
Q. People think everything that happens on reality shows is scripted. Is that true?
A. It's not so much scripted as instigated. At least on my shows, no one has dared to ask me to do something unusual.
Q. But contestants are not very real these days either, are they?
A. Yes, all the reality shows have become like a Miss India contest. Everybody knows exactly what to say and when to say. On Indian Idol 1, people were innocent. That is why Idol 2 bombed--because the contestants thought they were already stars. They knew when to cry and when to laugh, all for public support.
Q. Were u offered Indian Idol 4?
A. No.
Q. Which do you like better, Nach Baliye or Indian Idol?
A. I prefer Nach. I'd rather see people dancing then listen to them sing.
Q. On NB 1, Saroj Khan told a couple performing to It's The Time To Disco that they were better than the film. Was it because of your rivalry?
A. No, she was probably right. That is the one song that I feel I have not choreographed well.
Q. Are you giving the contestants any tips?
A. I will tell them what are they doing wrong.
Q. Don't you think audiences are being hit with too many reality shows?
A. Yes, but they don't have any other good options on TV anyway. Moreover, reality shows are all about being connected. People vote because they think they can connect with the show.
Q. Have you lost weight after the babies?
A. Yes and I am working on losing more because I have to sit next to Karisma Kapoor and Arjun Rampal!
