Tanishaa Mukerji says reality shows edit contestants for drama, calling them \u201ctraumatic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Reality shows are often marketed as unscripted entertainment, but actress Tanishaa Mukerji is now shedding light on their darker side. Known for her stints on Bigg Boss 7, Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, Tanishaa admitted that such shows can leave participants emotionally drained and struggling with their public image.<\/p>\n

\u2018Reality Shows Are Traumatic,\u2019 Says Tanishaa<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a chat with Pinkvilla, Tanishaa explained that reality television can feel like \u201ctrauma bonding.” She said, \u201cReality shows are traumatic. Zindagi mai joh trauma experience nahi kiya hai, voh ek reality show mai mil jaayega aapko (The kind of trauma you\u2019ve never experienced in life, you\u2019ll find in a reality show).”<\/p>\n

Despite acknowledging their damaging impact, the actress revealed her adventurous spirit drove her to participate. \u201cI did it because I am a very adventurous spirit. Sometimes you need to think about consequences, but I believe life is about trying new things,” she said.<\/p>\n

Tanishaa further revealed that the real challenge comes after the show ends. She explained that contestants are often typecast into characters created by the show\u2019s edit, making it hard to break free. \u201cReality show jab aapko ek kirdaar bana deta hai toh fir aap uske liye typecast ho jaate ho. And more so kyuki log sochte hai aap vaise hi ho,” she explained.<\/p>\n

Editing Shapes How Viewers See You<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Tanishaa, the biggest misconception is that contestants can show their true selves. \u201cYou can\u2019t be yourself because someone else edits and shows you. 24\/7 they don\u2019t show you, only what they want,” she said, pointing out how editing creates a distorted reality.<\/p>\n

She also recalled how people often smirk when bringing up her Bigg Boss stint, but she remains unaffected. \u201cThey only saw what was shown on the show. Producers want you to invest in one character while turning another into a villain,” she noted.<\/p>\n

The actress concluded that while she personally remains unfazed by work fluctuations, reality TV has lasting consequences for many others. Despite the challenges, she embraces her journey, adding that her experiences made her stronger and more self-aware.<\/p>\n
