The latest realtiy show ‘Sach Ka Saamna’ has managed top get high viewership ratings but in the process is now under the government scanner for its content.Samajwadi Party MP Kamal Akhtar raised questions regarding the show’s content and said the show featured "unreasonable questions about a person’s bedroom life" which was against Indian culture.
The ministry of information and broadcasting has also issued a show cause notice to the channel for violating the programming code of the Cable TV Network Act of 1995. The TV channel has to respond to the notice latest by Monday.
Siddharth Basu, producer of the show and Head of BIG Synergy Adlabs said in response,"I would not like to comment on the issue raised in parliament. I have the highest regard for the institution and its members and I am sure things will be well considered and due process will be followed."
The show is based on an American show ‘The Moment of Truth’, where the contestants have to answer 21 questions about their lives after undergoing a polygraph test that determines if an answer is true. A contestant with the perfect score gets to walk away with a prize money of Rs10 million.
