(UN)Reality shows



Reality shows are currently the flavour of the television industry.
Let it be dance shows, singing or peeping into the personal life of a celebrity, the Indian television industry is ready for it. It started off with Indian idol part 1.
Even I was seriously hooked into the television set, rooting for Rahul Vaidya.. 
Then as the episode came to the end, the program lost its initial charm. It has started off as something that we common people can relate to but then it changed its format to adjust itself to the TRP business of the television industry and there I stopped watching it..
Nowadays all reality shows are mixed with unwanted emotions, dramas that it’s so clear that everything is made up. The celebrities cry for the stupidest and the silliest of the reasons. And with that, I feel it has lost its bonding with the common man.
Now there is nothing that the normal middle class people can relate to. We obviously watch the celebrity dancing on screen so what the heck in watching them in different shows. Also the dances in such shows, and the dresses worn are such that, you cannot enjoy them watching with your family around.
And the worst thing that I dislike about such shows is when they say that “pure Hindustan ke log, dil tame baithe hai “,.. Oh my God, that’s exactly how the anchors put it. The country’s name is dragged into, after each and every statement the anchors make before announcing the results.
This is something that I personally feel shouldn’t be used or said.
There is no need to say “Hindustan, the whole of India or something like that.
It’s just a TV show and not even 25 % of the population of India will be watching such program. Where does the poor people have time after a day’s work to watch TV, there is still a large chunk of Indian population where the TV sets haven’t found their way into their homes.
So putting it across as something that all Indians are hooked into, is absolutely wrong. I am not trying to be very patriotic or trying to be too rigid, but still when you take the name of the country , I feel it should be for more proper reason and a proper cause and it should do justice to it.
Taking country’s name alongside such dance shows, is really insulting..
