Tune into any Indian entertainment channel and you find dozens of reality shows ranging from Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, Dhoom Machale, Rock n Roll Family, etc.
The shows are such a big bore at times with the same stars hopping across different TV channels. It is just a platform for the participating stars and judges to make quick bucks. It serves as a good platform for out of work stars who suddenly are flooded with offers after the end of the show.
The orchestrated tears, parents getting angry over the voting system, judges or anchors storming out of the sets are so common. One wonders don’t the people get bored doing the same expressions from time to time.
I wonder how come stars like Tanuja, Kajol and Ajay Devgan are judging a dumb show like Rock n Roll Family. One wonders whether the results are already pre-mediated by the channels, with all this voting just a farce.
When will people understand these reality shows only benefit telecom companies who make money out of the lakhs of sms sent daily?
