(Reality shows have now turned into scripted TV shows. Every reality show has a pattern… there will be a love angle, someone's mother will be shown working at someone's house, someone's father will be an auto-rickshaw driver.
)
He further revealed, 'Every reality show follows a set pattern… there will be a love angle, someone's mother will be shown working at someone's house, someone's father will be an auto-rickshaw driver.
Agar ye nahi bhi hota hai toh aapko bola jaata hai ki aise bolo. Pehle aisa nahi hota tha. Pehle agar mujhe pata hota ki agar 'main gareeb hoon' aisa bolne se vote milenge, toh hum toh fir bata dete (apni sad story). But back then, it was real.
'
He further said, 'I can't say that about today's singing reality shows. (Even if that's not true, you're told to say it that way. It wasn't like this before. Earlier, if I had known that saying 'I'm poor' would get me votes, then I too would have shared my sob story.
But back then, it was real.) I can't say the same about today's singing reality shows.'
Rahul recently found himself in the middle of a controversy with cricketer Virat Kohli after he revealed he was blocked by him on social media. However, he later revealed that Virat unblocked him and things are good now. On the work front, Rahul is currently winning hearts on Laughter Chefs 2.

Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja opens up on life as a star wife, says Govinda was away during both her deliveries: 'Aapko patthar ka dil banana padta hai'
Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood icon Govinda , shared rare insights into the emotional challenges of being married to a film star. Opening up about the early years of her marriage, Sunita said, 'Ek hero ki biwi hona, aapko patthar ka dil banana padta hai. Aap dekhte ho hero humare se zyada to heroine logo ke saath rehte hain.' She pointed out that the nature of an actor's job often requires them to spend more time with co-stars than with their own family, and learning to manage that reality was essential for her emotional well-being. Govinda was away for shoots during both her deliveries Reflecting on the time when she became a mother, Sunita revealed that Govinda was mostly away on outdoor shoots when she delivered both their children — daughter Tina and son Yashvardhan. 'Jab delivery hua mera, tab Govinda zyada tar outdoor mein hi rehte the. Main to apni mother-in-law ke saath rehti thi. Chhote baby ko leke to aap travel nahi kar sakte ho,' she recalled during a recent interview with Instant Bollywood. Sunita lived with her mother-in-law for over a decade and credits her with shaping her understanding of family life. 'She always taught me good things. Govinda loved his mom dearly out of fear, and he never did anything wrong in his life,' she said with pride. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Simple.
