Now for my own views.
There's nothing wrong in taking cameras backstage and film. But yes I personally feel the backstage part can always be avoided from being aired on the show. Finally this is a music show. You add the fun factor to the show to make it more entertaining is fine. But when you add such drama the whole aesthetic nature of the show gets marred.
Bhaskar, I want to distinguish between staged drama and real drama. Staged drama is the one which is concocted just to create a sensation, to pull in viewers, like what we saw in earlier seasons of SRGMP, when love stories were created where there were none!
But sometimes, due to emotional outbursts or other reasons such as someone fainting, there is spontaneous drama. Earlier, these things were carefully kept away from the public and we only got to see what we were supposed to see. Western channels employed no such filters, because they are a more open society.
