Sonu Nigam is one personality who’s always known to be extremely direct and straightforward with what he feels about a certain situation. Ever since the last few weeks, the controversy around reality shows like Indian Idol has made headlines to a great extent.

While Sonu usually likes to share his views in the form of vlogs, this time, he opined on the subject while speaking to a leading daily. He was quoted by HindustanTimes saying,

“If they weren’t working (sob stories), it would not be happening so often on reality shows. In the deepest corner of my heart, I feel sob stories are working. It is a marketing thing, and people are not fools. Their hearts are in the right place. I also feel that the contestants in reality shows are extremely talented. They are ‘dhurandhars’.”

He further added,

“Secondly, the definition of entertainment varies from person to person. Recently, I was watching a Korean film and I connected with it because it reminded me of my struggles, but it could be boring for someone else. Who am I to comment on the music reality shows? They are doing well, getting good viewership and the singers are phenomenal.”
