“There have been shows like Khulja Sim Sim, a remake of the American show, Let’s Make A Deal. Here the viewer could play and participate in the show. Same with the case of Kismey Kitnaa Hain Dum, a remake of famous British hit, Night Fever. It featured a karaoke contest where viewers could sing along. “The best part about these shows is that the viewers went through the trials and tribulations of the participants. Indian Idol was a complete reality show: a reality show and a talent show as well! It was a result of a cleverly constructed screenplay, which empowered the audience to select their personal favourites so it clicked. It is all about people’s participation, journey to fame and a lot of passion and emotion,” Reality shows not only changed the destinies of many television channels but also of many ordinary people. People like Kunal Ganjawala, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghosal and Anushka are some of the successful finds of reality television. It was only for these shows that a teashop owner, Sunil Pal, became a laughter champion and Prashant, a sepoy from Darjeeling, became the third Indian Idol.
Celebrity reality shows are another aspect of reality television that has become extremely popular with the audience. Apart from the overwhelming Television Rating Points (TRPs) that these shows command, they also have to their credit revamping images of some celebrities and bringing back to limelight some of the lost stars. Item queen Rakhi Sawnt witnessd a change in image after appearing on the reality show, Big Boss. Lost names like Rahul Roy, Anupama Verma and Baba Sehgal rose to limelight again because of shows like these. There is a lot of untapped talent in our country and these shows by extending their reach to small cities provide an opportunity to bring out this hidden talent. A chef from Chamba managed to reach the final round in Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. In Star One’s Lakme fashion house, 16 aspiring fashion designers strived to create a design to win an assignment with Donatella at the house of Versace – a lifetime opportunity for any beginner. The latest reality shows which dominated the Indian Television very recently Jhalak Dikhla Ja, Dus ka Dum which was hosted by Salman Khan, comedy circle and Dancing Queen was a dance show that paired a dancing diva with a protégé and was hosted by TV heartthrob Shabbir Ahluwalia and judged by Jeetendra and Hema Malini. Ten most desirable dancers who performed on this popular reality shows were Mink Brar, Sanobar Kabir, Sambhavna Seth, Shwetha Menon, Anita Hassanandani, Barkha Bisht, Ishita Arun, Bruna Abdalah Christofoli, Meghna Naidu & Deepshikha Nagpal.
