The television industry has a good mix of daily soap operas and reality shows. Prior to the introduction of reality shows, daily soaps ruled the television industry, but with reality shows coming into the picture, the viewers can now pick from other options apart from the drama series.
While some of these TV reality shows have celebrities taking part, there are other reality shows that are open for the general public to be a part of. Reality shows like MTV Splitsvilla, Roadies, Dance India Dance, Indian Idol accept applications from common people and that adds another layer to the fun and excitement of watching these shows. Women are now making great strides in the television industry and are shifting the dynamics in the male-dominated industry.
