Rahul Vaidya calls reality shows ‘scripted’; says, “They ask the contestants to share sob stories”

Rahul Vaidya, who is currently winning hearts on Laughter Chefs season 2, has made a shocking revelation in his recent podcast with Instant Bollywood. The singer, who was a contestant of the first season of Indian Idol, revealed that singing reality shows these days are ‘scripted.

’ The revelation has left fans shocked, with many reacting to it on social media. In a recent podcast, Rahul opened up about his journey in the industry, how singing reality shows these days are scripted, and even addressed his controversy with cricketer Virat Kohli. Talking about shows being scripted, he said, “Reality shows ab scripted TV shows bann gaye hai. Har reality show ka ek pattern hai… ek love angle hoga, kisi ki mummy kisi ke ghar pe kaam karti hogi, kisi ke papa auto chalate hoge.”

(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.
