Reality shows keep multiplying every year but what's common between most of them is that they often produce undeserving winners. This then leads to the speculation that reality shows are rigged. The channel and the producer are not perturbed with this allegation and shrug it off with 'it's the janta who decides the winner.'
It therefore appears that reality shows are not meant to be fair. The scales are now tilting heavily on the side of the unfair. And it's just not the common janta but contestants too are using loopholes in the regulations and garnering votes for themselves.
Some participants even go to the extent of distributing SIM cards to their family, friends and the public too. This first came to light when a star couple participating in a dance reality show distributed SIM cards to strangers on the street. Ekta Kapoor was allegedly instrumental in Prachi Desai winning Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 2 and now she's accused of throwing her weight behind Anita Hasnandani, who is a mentor in Dancing Queen.
