Reality Horror in Indian Television

The whole new era in Indian television is being started by horror reality shows, in which participants specially celebrities will be left alone in haunted places.
MTV’s Girls Night Out (with a tag line ab Phategi ) and Bindas channel’s The Chair (hosted by Meiyang Chang, who himself look spooky ) are being broadcasted.
Fiction based serial which has been on air since 15 years AAHAT is also planning to debut in reality show by leaving some celebrities in a haunted place for its 15 years celebration.
Rakhi ka insaf could also be considered as horror.

Don't Panic she is not a witch
Its Rakhi Sawant without make-up

Well for me the biggest horror TV show was “Rakhi ka Swayamvar”. In which she was suppose to give nightmares by marring one of the prey gathered (they were men and not dogs), but by gods grace he emancipated.

Science channels named National Geographic and Discovery channel  has been showing documentaries on paranormal effects, but the major difference between them and these reality shows is Discovery never leaves their viewers in fear but  gives a reasoning based on science and psychology.

Guess what these horror reality shows are doing?. They leave you with messages like “the camera went dead for no reason” or “the Girl participant just vanished in air and then suddenly appeared in other room”. Was not it enough that they also show clearly fake fear? What are they trying to prove with this?

Remember the time when all the TV channels were showing Ekta kapoor made drama serials, in which all the mother-in-laws were only to terrorise their daughter-in-laws. and the daughter-in-law’s main work to keep marrying and divorcing. I hope these horror reality shows will see the same fate soon and get vanished.
