Click to play videoNew Delhi: From back biting, to heart burn, to blatant display of affection and arrogance. The phenomenon of reality shows on Indian television is now entering a whole new level.
And with season two of Big Boss already on air, viewers can once again sit in their drawing rooms and peep into bedrooms for a slice of the candid.
Reality television has moved on from rooting for the underdog through SMS votes to riding high on voyeurism.
While the audience is entertained by the incessant bickering between participants or even the on-air bonding, show producers are rubbing their hands with glee for all its worth.
However, one can't forget the case of 16-year-old Shinjini Sengupta - the girl who suffered a paralytic attack after being allegedly humiliated on a reality dance show.
Cases like Shinjini's are a reality check on this growing obsession with the circus of reality television.
While reality shows are entertaining, one can't overlook the fact that the shows are about real people and can get carried away at times.
