Is TV making a mockery of singers?

A new show Yeh Shaam Mastani promises to change all that

Sukhwinder Singh however did not echo Kher's sentiments and sounded very bitter about musical contests on television. "The words music and contest don't go together. Music is not a battle where you make singers fight over petty issues. The kind of fake drama some shows are doing for the sake of TRPs is disgusting."

But no such issues with Yeh Shaam Mastani as the makers insist it is purely about music. Hosted by Mini Mathur, the show also has elements where friends and family members of the celeb will make an appearance.

As Kher said, "It is Harmony meets Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai. But with a modern packaging." The singers will not only sing their own numbers but also classics that have inspired them. Kher will be paying a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan while Sunidhi and Sukhwinder will relive their favourite Kishore-Lata numbers.

Slated to be a seven-episode show, the makers hope to extend it to another season with more artistes. So, if adventure game shows and quizzes don't do it for you, maybe you could enjoy some more singing and dancing.

I'm very selective: Sukhwinder

Finally!!! These reality shows are such bore. Even then, everyone just wants to use same concept and still be different in some way to draw in the trps. Chalo anyway i will surely watch this show. I like shaan and shankar

Don't be rude or interrupt others who are having a conversation. Ethnic slurs, personal insults and abuses are rather uncool. Criticise, but know where to draw the line. No point putting in personal details or links, we won't publish them. Try and write in English and please, stick to the point!
