Rannvijay Singh Joins The Reality Shows Debate, Blames Parents For Pushing Their Kids Too Hard

Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar's take on children's reality show has kicked off a major storm. With more and more people joining in the different sides of the debate, the clarity of the situation has somewhat fizzled into oblivion.

Whether kids really go through dark phases while participating in reality shows or if kids manage it all efficiently along with their studies still remains a big question. And now, the latest person who has joined the debate is Popular host Rannvijay Singh.

According to Rannvijay Singh, he can¡¯t give a ¡°specific statement¡± since he has never been a part of shows involving kids but believes parents should be questioned for that. Talking to PTI, Singh said,

¡°I think parents should take more ownership. I see a lot of parents who push their kids in reality shows. They are more ambitious than the kids. The kids don¡¯t even know what is happening. People who work on these shows put their heart and soul in it, they work for hours and make a living. But why are the parents never questioned?¡±

He elaborated his take with a sensible comment on how the best way to ease children¡¯s stress is to increase the number of shooting days of shows so that there is less pressure per day on them. He added,

¡°Everybody benefits from this ¨C from cameramen, light guys to the talent on stage. But if it is done with more efficiency, clarity, and nobody is trying to take advantage of anybody then it¡¯s great. I don¡¯t think kids should be put through such a rigorous thing but I don¡¯t even know if the reality shows we are talking about making them go through this. But if it happens, it¡¯s not good for the development of a child. Parents should be the first to make a point out of that."

With more and more people joining the debate, we wonder if situations will become better if it isn't for kids.
