Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Nach Baliye, Indian Idol, Bigg Boss are some of the reality shows which are loved massively by the audience. However, time and again, allegations such as whether these reality shows are even real or if they are actually scripted and dramatized have been aroused. In the past, one Reddit user who used to work in the backstage team for a dance reality shows also stated that if makers don’t want a certain contestant to win, they will deliberately show them in a poor light and use bad camera angles or change their dance performance at the last moment. Bigg Boss, too, is accused of being scripted and biased by many celebrities. While one can ignore the chatter by the common people about their notion of reality shows, one really cannot ignore when renowned celebrities who have been part of reality shows themselves mention that reality shows are far from reality. For the latest Rubina Dilaik, who won Bigg Boss 14, herself stated that reality shows are scripted. If a contestant is a channel’s favorite or if a channel is willing to make a contestant the face for a particular show, then they will mold the show so that the specific contestant gets more attention, that too in a positive light. She openly said that channels give their favorite contestant the entire script as in how he or she needs to perform.
