Secret Truth beats Jungle Camp

Truth always prospers. And on Indian Television, the curret TRPs just proves the fact. Of the two newly launched reality shows “Sach Ka Saamna”, and “Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao”, The Uncomfortable Sach is way ahead of the Jungle Adventure.

The premiere episode of “Sach Ka Saama”, which was aired July 15 has a television rating point (TRP) of 3.4 percent as against 1.6 percent registered by the first episode of “Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao”.

Both these shows have generated a mixed response from the audience.

On one hand there are people who believe that “Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao” is lagging behind because its tasks involve a lot of creepy, slimy and dangerous creatures that leave them feeling horrified. "Sach Ka Saamna" on the other hand puts contestants through 21 controversial and uncomfortable questions about their lives to win Rs.10 million prize money if they answer them honestly.

But there are people who prefer “Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao” over "Sach Ka Saamna". They believe that the truth about a person’s personal life can break his or her family. Also if one wants to disclose truth its not a great task to be done. But the tasks these celebrities are made to do in Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao”on are not everyone’s cup of tea. One finds it hard to imagine doing such things themselves and watching celebrities do it with so much willingness is really thrilling.

However TRPs prove that Sach Ka Samna is been preffered over “Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao”.
