The Notorious Judges On India's Television Mystery Shows

India is home to numerous hit reality TV shows that aim to captivate audiences with their diverse formats and talented contestants. However, these shows often feature judges who fall far short of expectations, particularly with their controversial and problematic behaviors. This article delves into why some judges are deemed the worst and why their presence is a significant detriment to these shows.

Anu Malik and Chetan Bhagat: Two Judges Worthy of Contempt

Two judges who stand out among the rest in terms of their poor conduct and poor ratings are Anu Malik and Chetan Bhagat. Alongside Mukesh, these two individuals have been criticized for their bullying and unreasonable criticism of contestants.

During the show Roadies, these judges were notorious for bulling and critiquing contestants for the most trivial of reasons. Their endorsement of actions such as beating up a police officer without cause only adds to their controversial legacy. Regardless of their claims of being smart, sitting on the judging panel and embarrassing contestants is not a commendable skill.

The entire show has been likened to a piece of bull, and it is mainly due to the presence of these judges. Both these individuals claim to be helping contestants but instead, they make a minor living from the glorified promises of their shows.

Other notable judges who have faced criticism include:

Condemned for Incompetence: Mr. Chetan Bhagat, Author and Judge

Mr. Chetan Bhagat, a renowned author, appeared as one of the judges on the dance reality show, Nach Baliye. His presence was criticized for multiple reasons. Firstly, an author judge on a dance show was seen as a significant upheaval, as his expertise in writing does not equate to a knowledge of dance. His arbitrary and subpar judging skills only fueled the criticism. It is hard to believe that he would not mark participants with an abysmal score—such as 1 out of 10.

The judgesrsquo; tagline ldquo;Inspiration for a life, connection for your talentrdquo; falls flat when representing such judges.

Frail Judging Abilities: Archna Puran Singh and Javed Akhtar

Archna Puran Singh has faced numerous criticisms for her silence and discomfort during performances. Rumors suggest that an incident involving deaf attendees of Indian Idol 4 and Fame Gurukul occurred, leading to a mass exodus, prompting judgments that Puran Singh was not equipped for the role.

Javed Akhtar, known for his exceptional writing skills, has been equally notorious as a judge. His comments during Fame Gurukul often incited controversy due to his personal biases; for instance, he dragged his beliefs about societal issues into the show, stirring uncomfortable reactions from both contestants and viewers.

Irony in Karan Joharrsquo;s Comment on Talent Shows

Karan Johar, a prominent personality in Indian cinema, commented on the judging talent on India's Got Talent (IGT). The irony lies in his endorsement of judges known for their poor performances. His comments reflect his double standards.

Chetan Bhagat, along with other judges, has been dubbed one of the worst talent show judges, yet Johar still supports their appearances, further emphasizing the need for better recruitment practices in the judging category of reality shows.

Ultimately, these judges and the shows they represent are hurting the integrity of talent competitions in India. The presence of these individuals detracts from the authenticity and true spirit of these shows, leaving audiences questioning the value of these competitions.
