DesiDabba - Boss, Thoda Sa Roomani Ho Jaye

These days we do have too many Reality Shows taking place on our Television Network. Be it singing, dancing, fashion, practically everything under the sun (or the moon, when it comes to desi-television). But what happens when these so-called entertaining shows take an ugly turn or in simple words go a little too far in order to serve their TRP purpose.

We have witnessed such situations earlier too, be it the bitching and ugly gossiping on Bigg Boss, musician Anu Malik’s not so amusing tactics on previous Indian Idol Shows and more recently the rift between His Himmeshness and Asha Bhosla on Sa Re Ga Ma.

But this by far exceeds them all.

Gracious D’Costa, one of the participants in Sahara One’s Biggest Loser Jeetega was hospitalized when he injured himself while jumping over a wall in the show.

The members of the Red team and the Blue team were supposed to jump over a high wall. Gracious D’costa, member of the Red team, agreed to let his team members jump over the wall by climbing on his back for the much-needed support. Once all the participants jumped over the wall with Gracious’s help, it was finally his chance to jump over the wall.

Kalyan Sundaram, programming head of Sahara One, says, "It was tough for Gracious because he had to jump over without anyone’s help. He was already very weak after every one had stepped on his back to jump over the wall. As soon as Gracious tried to jump over the wall, he toppled over and fell on the ground. He closed his eyes and was gasping for breath. He was immediately taken to the hospital. The rival team had a great laugh on seeing Gracious’s condition."

Come to think of it, I find seriously crazy the lengths people will go to just for that 15 minutes in Limelight.
