The Real McCoys, the Power-Puff Girls, the Funny Boys, the News Hounds, the Style Meisters and the Loony Tooners make TV rock.
The Real McCoys
You know them by: They were the guys-next-door. And overnight they transformed from amateur singers to rock stars. You root for them, send a million SMSs and after a complete makeover, they become your heroes. It only takes 15 minutes of fame to inspire millions like them.
Usual suspects: Abhijit Sawant, our first 'Indian Idol', Qazi Touqueer ('Fame Gurukul'), who shot to fame because of his resemblance to Hrithik Roshan, Himani Kapoor, a runner-up at 'Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005' has bagged many projects and Ruprekha Banerjee of 'Fame Gurukul' among others.
Most likely to say: Debojit Saha (winner of the 'Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005') says, "I have a responsibility towards all my fans and I have to live up to their expectations." Ruprekha, who wants to concentrate on playback singing, adds, "Reality shows have helped us jump the line. Our struggle is over. We just have to make good use of the opportunity given to us."
Tribal future: Sums up Anupama Mandloi, senior vice president and head of programming, Sony Entertainment Television, "While soaps and serials will continue to be part of the daily diet, reality shows will continue to bring in freshness and allow for experimentation. It will also help redefine viewers' perceptions of entertainment and build their expectations towards sampling and enjoying the 'dessert diet'." -Nuzhat Aziz
