HOW CHEAP CELEBRITIES CAN BE, IN THE NAME OF REALITY SHOW? ALL REALITY SHOWS ARE WELL-SCRIPTED BY CHANNELS AND PRODUCERS (27th Oct 2009, 1630 Hrs)

HOW CHEAP CELEBRITIES CAN BE, IN THE NAME OF REALITY SHOW? ALL REALITY SHOWS ARE WELL-SCRIPTED BY CHANNELS & PRODUCERS (27th Oct 2009, 1630 Hrs)

You all have seen Javed Akhtar, Abhijeet, Alka Yagnik, Anu Malik, Shekhar Suman, Farah Khan and many more celebrity judges shouting aloud, walking out of the studio, yelling with arrogance obscenities to insult (beep takes over for viewers) not only the contestants but also fellow judges – well, how low can these celebrity judges stoop to earn their moolah… imagine being insulted in front of the whole nation for a stipulated sum of money? And then like a shameless creature, they are back licking each other smiling and back in the show… Well, that is the norms of today’s modern world… where in one sells all his / her revered image, self esteem and honour in the society (people who worship them) just to earn those lakhs and crores, the easiest way. Funny, isn’t it? You thought celebrities are God send! Well, they are worst than those street beggars actually, who would do anything for a given sum of money. A street beggar has more dignity because he is committed towards his profession than these celebrities.

Coming to the reality show syndrome, insiders and various celebrities have confirmed (off-record obviously because they are bound by the contract) that every show is well-scripted by the channels and producers and every celebrity signs the contract knowing pretty well what will be one’s role… Yes, Reality Shows are just like a film, where in actors are hired to perform various characters. None of the reality shows are in fact real! Celebrity contestants always know who is going to win because they sign the contract well in advance. Channels and producers bargain the package accordingly, so the next time you see, a particular celebrity getting those extra abuse (racial or otherwise) shedding crocodile tears and still doesn’t leave the show, be sure s/he is going to win at the end. Like Shilpa Shetty cried her heart out in front of the international media how she was racially abused by fellow contestants… however, she stayed till the last to ultimately win it and make her crores.

Indian viewers are very emotional in believing lies at the drop of a hat and all the channels have encash this weak point to strengthen their advertising revenues with high TRPS by showing the plight of celebrities in a shoddy manner. The more a celebrity contestant or judge is insulted and abused, the higher the TRPs and the higher the package deal is struck between the channels and producers of the shows. It has become a vicious game in no-moral society! Money over Honour, these celebrities don’t even think one bit that they are considered to be role models by the society and that is why, even the contestants (who also play the game with well-scripted judgement against or for them) play their role to perfection in front of millions of viewers, shedding tears, abusing other fellow contestants and well… you have seen it all.

Reality Shows are rigged and scripted in the similar fashion as the yearly Awards Ceremonies! A big star will not attend the awards’ night unless and until he is assured his Trophy! The bigger the star attendance, the higher the TRPs and this is how the Fame Game is played… insulted for a sum is the norms of the day in a celebrity’s life!
