Apart from fictional and scripted shows, this year most of the channels in the TV world were seen keeping distance from reality shows. Reality shows did not get any place on channels like Star Plus, Sony Sab and &TV. Only Sony, Colors and MTV showed interest in reality shows. Sony introduced Madness Machayenge, Aapka Apna Zakir and Colors introduced Laughter Chef Unlimited challenge shows, but the audience did not take interest in them.
New experiments: As an experiment, Colors entrusted the responsibility of cooking and making people laugh through the Laughter Chef Unlimited challenge show to many artists including Karan Kundrra, Ali Goni, Nia Sharma, Ankita Lokhande, Kashmira Shah. Unlike the tradition of the past several years, this year in Bigg Boss 18, instead of Salman Khan, actor and MP Ravi Kishan was given the hosting on Sunday. A different experiment was seen on Sony in the form of India’s Best Dancer vs Super Dancer: Champions Ka Tashan. In this, former participants of India’s Best Dancer and Super Dancer were seen competing with each other.
First step in TV: Some celebrities who have made their name in cinema worked in a show for the first time through reality shows. The first name in this was Karisma Kapoor. She played the role of judge in the show India’s Best Dancer 4. Actress Huma Qureshi worked in TV for the first time with the show Madness Machayenge: Duniya Ko Hasayenge. Apart from this, Guru Randhawa, Sachin-Jigar, Sachet-Parampara made their TV debut by playing the role of mentor in the singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2024.
Real controversy: In Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, Asim Riaz accused the team of making impossible tasks after not being able to complete a task. Similarly, on the stage of Bigg Boss 18, Salman scolded Ashneer on an old statement related to her. After this, Ashneer also apologized to Salman.
