Unreal reality? | |||||||
Reality shows are booming! Some original concepts, while others choose to follow. But they have made their place in everyone's heart without fail. But its reality element is always doubted! Time and again there have been debates about the reality quotient of these shows whether revolving around celebrities or the common people. Riya V Anandwala talks to a few television personalities and gets their view on reality shows, its reality and how far are they convinced!
Opinion- People have mixed reactions about these reality shows and so do I! At times it does seem staged. They show the stars or people having catfights which normally are not so hyped. It is very difficult to believe the voting bit of these shows, I feel they are fixed. Ravi Chopra Opinion- Reality shows are booming and have grabbed many eyeballs. It's a very good platform for showcasing talent. They are very much real, but of course certain things on the show like voting out a talented person because of lack of mass appeal becomes a bit of a problem. About the voting system it is very economical for the producers and beneficial too. In my opinion they don't intend to fool people. Juhi Parmar Opinion- I have never been a part of a reality TV show, so have no clue what happens behind the scenes. But from the face of it, it looks pretty real. I do have doubts at times, but who knows what the truth is. There are people coming from small towns and earning name and fame through these reality shows, but celebrity based reality shows are mostly to attract the audience, so you never know how real they are. Achint Kaur Opinion- At the end of the day it's all in the name of entertainment and is definitely scripted. There is no major difference between international reality shows and the shows made here, they cater to their audience, and we cater to ours. Even Nach Baliye to an extent is scripted, and it is very much evident. There are some elements of reality and not completely.
Opinion- Well, it cannot be fixed. Producers and channel officials will never do that. But yes the voting and SMS patterns come across as being fixed. I am very excited for the new show coming up, Big Boss.
