Quotes
Aanchal Khurana
Television actor commenting on reality-show portrayals and monetisation.
“Reality shows are definitely monetising their TRPs. They have caught on to this idea and it happens differently with different people. Sunita ji definitely did not come (on Lock Upp) just to make money. She was genuinely hurt and I really liked her. Sunita ji is genuinely like that, but some people are using these situations to make money, gain fame or get shows. Every person is different and you cannot put everyone in the same category.”
NDTV
“Stop acting on reality shows. Please stop coming on reality shows and pretending. I don't think even people in America or Europe do things like this. You are living separately, then going inside the Bigg Boss house and acting this whole situation, while waiting for Lock Upp to reveal that you are not together.”
