Disillusioned by Reality..........!!!!!!!

Reality T.V….Reality shows…have, to a certain extent altered the Indian Television scene and have taken it to a new level. These shows are being embraced and accepted by its producers, contestants and viewers as they offer a wholesome family entertainment, a platform to showcase young talent along with instant name, fame and money. And also relives viewers from the never-ending tortures of oh- so long oldy goldy bickering saas- bahu sagaas….In a nutshell, these shows are like a true (“Real” ) bollywood masala flick…with all the ingrediants of comedy,tragedy,candyfloss romanc,emotions,jealousy,agony..etc….garnished with spicy “Reality”… served hot .
There is no doubt about the sustainability of these shows. Their popularity proves the fact that these shows are here to stay. But, Are they really “Real” as they claim to be..? Or is it just a TRP Game?
Recently, in a Reality Dance Show, Shinijini Sengupta, 16-year-old Kolkata girl lost her voice and suffered a paralytic attack after being rebuked and criticized by judges of the show. In this case, it was the name and fame that allured shinijini; she fell into the trap of reality T.V. and was unable to cope up with the rising demands, pressures and hype accompanied by this reality show.
Reality shows especially those concerned with children needs to be analyzed and checked. At such a tender age, these children are programmed and expected to behave like professionals. Early exposure to fame, money, and limelight affects the psychological makeup of these young minds. In order to get there they tend to loose the innocence and essence of their childhood. The above incident questions the extent to which a reality show could go? Their impact on young minds? And also urges that children should be dealt with more sensitivity and care.
