Speaking to News18’s Showsha, Grover said, “Reality shows have to be about contestants. Fortunately, or unfortunately, in India, we have had a very big show which has had a very big superstar. And therefore, it’s become more about him than the contestants, right? But the fact is, who is putting in the hours? Bhai, aap to ek weekend mein aa rahe ho. Jo 24 ghante lage hain, woh to contestant lage hue hain. The balance of power has to go back to the contestants and the content that comes out of the contestants.
