In an earlier interview with The Indian Express, Parineeti Chopra had also defended her show amidst accusations of it selling sob stories of contestants for TRPs. The Hasee Toh Phasee actress had said, "I think people who are not associated with reality shows speak like that. I am giving first-hand information from my experience. We are never given a script nor told what to say. We have never met these contestants and react to their performances as it happens. I think if there is an emotional story, why wouldn't we share it? The talent is not fake and they get just one take to perform. The reality is very real on the show." Meanwhile, on the work front, she has movies like Animal and Uunchai on her kitty.
