Sach ka Saama is disgusting. Actually it is the 'celebrities ' who are disgusting but the common platform is the Show and hence my ire on the show.
Before you react, let me assure you, I am no prude. Reality shows are fine. Asking.. um.. err..questions hitherto unasked in public is new but not objectionable on only that ground.
What disgusts one is the trade-off the 'celebrity' makes between pubic embarrasment ( er, I meant public embarrasment which they might equate to fame) and 10 lakhs of rupees. A valid point of view is that the 'celebrity' would not care to bare all for 10 lakhs that he / she might or might not win on the game show. One strongly suspects the consideration of an 'appearence fee'.
There are reality shows and there are other reality shows. Sach Ka Saamna is not a game of skill nor is it a game of chance. It is no beauty contest, nor a popularity contest. It does not test endurance or personality.It is no human interest story. But it is most certainly is entertaining. The kind of depraving entertainment that the dark side of us want to watch. Want to gossip about.
The fig leaf of the show is that it is about Truth. The Government of India's motto is Satyameva Jayete, reminded Siddhartha Basu, producer of Sach ka Saamna.
If only someone would offer me 10 crores of rupees, I would confess to all acts that I have never performed !

but the lie detector would catch you, my friend.. and there lies the catch.. love the show.. reminds me to not smirk at the western society thinking them to be a hollow society etc.. we are no better..
never mind the lie detector... I could ask the Show Host to ask me a series of ultra-sleazy questions and pretend to have a tough time answering them.... shooting up the TRPs.
