I remember when last time such a thing happened it was with the program dada giri season 4 and when I posted that it was delayed due to the fact they were showing ill treatment towards animals. Their CEO apologised and removed those parts.
However I was getting hate mails that we “animal lovers are idiots” , those mails didn’t bother me at all however what bothers me is that a general Indian would even want to watch or support such a thing.
Doesn’t speak highly about our youth, abuse filled hostile reality shows are the demand of the day? I have nothing against reality show or abuses metted out on TV , being a liberal I cannot be judgemental of everything however what gets to me is that such hostility is shown with such pride that young children feel that is the way to live , speak or treat others.
