Too real for reality

DNA gets hooked on to 5 of the best reality show moments…

The curious case of Rakhi Sawant:
Rakhi Sawant’s life seems to be an unending reality show in itself. First, Rakhi came on a dance reality show and declared that she is dating some guy. Nobody bothered till Rakhi came on the show with the same guy and announced that he is her dancing partner. After a few lovey-dovey moments,  Rakhi ended up  slapping the guy in public. Well, the obvious followed —Rakhi announced that she is single (again!). Before you know that it’s over and done with, she announced that she is getting married and on a reality TV show! Another round of publicity exercise followed and she got herself a groom…only to declare that she is not getting married to him. Time for another reality show?

A die-hard romantic called Rahul Mahajan:
He is the bad boy of the Mahajan family who had earned his share of bad press when he got entangled in the doping case.  A fling with an item girl on a reality show and then getting married on another show — Rahul Mahajan is the star of all reality shows. Only that he will have to play second fiddle to Rakhi Sawant. Phew!
Salman's dances

When Salman Khan gets on a show, it is obvious people watch him. The popular star that he is, he also picked up the mobile and called his ‘friends’ in the industry to come on the show and voila! Everybody (except for Shah Rukh Khan of course) turned up in the show. Maybe you always need not be a Karan Johar to draw some people, what say?

The Negar Khan bikini show:
The story goes somewhat like this — Negar Khan felt the need of getting the dirt off her back when she was living in the middle of a jungle for a reality show. She positioned herself in such a way that the camera caught her taking her top and denims off. Then she stripped down to her bikini and had a shower standing under a waterfall. The show was aired late into the night. Need we say more?

Mandira Bedi's break point:
She sailed through the reality show that required her to do daredevil stunts. But she just fell down while rehearsing and broke her shin bone. A tug-of-war followed between her and the channel. While the channel scurried for an answer, she posed for the shutterbugs in her castings. Must be such a pain, eh!

Ekta Kapoor’s pick
“I am not a reality show junkie myself and I have not produced any reality show till date. But I think some of them have really got the audience hooked on. I don't want to name specific shows but some of them are good."
