Reality shows in India a drama

Reality shows are the one thing which irritates many people in India. But there are even fools in this world that follows these shows. It’s so disgusting to watch children’s Little teary-eyed children between the ages of 8 to 12 narrating how they come from homes where they are the sole breadwinners and would rather join the army than be chefs, or how their father’s body caught fire, or how they help their mother make 100 dabbas a day – all interspersed with copious crying.

Yes you are right I am talking about Junior Master Chef India. What can we more expect from an Indian reality show, it’s all about drama and less professionalism. I remember Junior Master Chef of Australia which was telecasted in India last year. The lovely show was full of Professionalism. The spirit of competition was kept to a minimum, the children were stupendously talented and the entire series had an air of celebration about it.

this is India where drama, pathos and tragedy mark every reality show. The Indian version has three judges – who go by their first names like Hindi film villains of yore – Chef Jolly, Chef Vikas and Chef Kunal. Even if the judges didn’t have the requisite IQ or EQ to shut up and mollify the children, or change the subject when the child is close to tears, why did the producers and director of the show feel it necessary to broadcast and highlight footage of children crying? Are eyeballs and TRPs really that important, that you’re willing to emotionally exploit a child and milk the tear-jerker moment to its voyeuristic max?

The one reality I would like to tell you that, Do you remember the kid who was encyclopedia of Master Chef India and his mom in a LBD. Who played his mom is a 24 year old media professional who does occasionally acting, her name is Anisha Sagar.

Reality shows should be given new name of Fake shows
