...the judges’ zabardasti ke fights have become a regular feature

But the point to be noted, is that the talent of the candidates nonetheless, never goes unnoticed. Those contenders who are ousted from such shows but have the skill and zest, find their way, anyway. Jennifer Hudson, who was voted out of American Idol won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Oscars this year, for her role in Dreamgirls. The Indian Idol 2 runner-up Karunya, was in greater demand for stage-shows, both in India and abroad, than the winner that year. Examples are aplenty. But guess who’s the latest to launch a reality TV show? Unbelievable as it sounds, it is Aastha, a spiritual channel, which in an attempt to bait younger audiences, is beginning a reality show of its own. Though based on the usual formula, Aastha plans to stand out by having an exotic setting of aashram for their show Religious Indian Idol, where the contestants will sit beneath trees, besides a river and sing songs of all faiths and there will not be any celebrity anchors to judge the show either. Did you hear… reality TV just got a spiritual touch!
