Reality shows ask contestants to make up sad stories: Rahul Vaidya
Singer Rahul Vaidya claims that today's reality shows are scripted and the makers ask contestants to fabricate emotional backstories to boost TRPs. "All reality shows follow same pattern...there'll be love angle...[poverty angle]," Rahul said. Reflecting upon his time as Indian Idol contestant, Rahul added, "If I knew...saying 'I'm poor' would get me votes...I...too would've shared my sob story."
