TV shows often become the focus of attention due to their content. In recent times, many TV shows featured bold scenes and controversial issues that were previously unseen in Indian television. These materials help to make public aware of the reality of our society. Let's look at 10 such TV shows that have been associated with bold and controversial content.
Big Boss
Bigg Boss continues to top the charts for its controversies and bold content. On the other hand, Colors TV shows have a format in which celebrities should be kept together in a house isolated from the outside world. In this scenario, it is clear that tempers move at high speeds, and so there are romantic sparks among the contestants. Abusive language, romance, violence, drama and all other emotions are seen in this show. The host 'Salman Khan' will have to intervene or reprimand the contestants for their inappropriate behaviour. One season of the show had to shift to its late-night slot instead of its usual 9 pm.
Jodha Akbar
Jodha Akbar, as the name suggests, is a TV show about the Mughal Emperor Akbar and his mysterious Hindu wife, Jodha. Rajput groups claimed about the historical inaccuracy, claiming that Jodha Bai was not Akbar's wife but his daughter-in-law. Producer 'Ekta Kapoor' had to put in a long disclaimer that the show is based on fictional content.
Bade Acche Lagte Hai
Ekta Kapoor's show on Sony Entertainment Television was based on the concept of love after marriage.
