Early on in the development of television, a brand-new genre called reality shows appeared that would enthrall viewers everywhere. One well-known person who lived through this fascinating time was Ayushmann Khurrana, an Indian singer and actor who is well-known for his versatility in Bollywood.
Khurrman talks about how he joined the reality show trend in 2002, when scripted dramas and fictional stories dominated television. The idea of reality shows was revolutionary because they gave viewers a more realistic look at real-life situations than they had ever seen.
Nobody was really sure what to anticipate from these new programs at that time, or how people would respond to them. Everyone was excited and interested in the phenomenon that was taking place all around them, as if they had entered uncharted territory. Similar to how fish are captivated by a sudden change in their aquatic environment, the participants in these shows were equally thrilled by the cameras that were filming every move they made.
Khurrman's analysis of this time period emphasizes how revolutionary reality television was when it first started, revolutionizing how people engage with media and consume entertainment. It involved more than just observing others; it involved taking part in a cultural revolution that would influence both social interaction and broadcasting in the future.
