Boogie
Woogie
was
one
of
the
best
dance
reality
shows
on
television
of
mid-90s.
Jaaved
Jaaferi,
Naved
Jafri
and
Ravi
Behl
were
seen
as
the
judges.
The
show
attracted
audience
of
all
ages
and
genders
as
they
appreciated
India's
talent.
The
reality
show
looked
'real'
and
it
became
instant
hit
among
audience.
Although
reality
shows
these
days
are
indeed
best
platform
to
showcase
talent,
they
lack
reality
and
are
hugely
criticised
mainly
because
of
all
drama
and
sob
stories.
Recently,
Sonu
Nigam
had
called
sob
stories
as
marketing
thing.
Now,
Jaaved
Jaaferi
has
reacted
to
the
same
and
called
it
fake.
He
said
he
misses
Boogie
Woogie
and
added
that
it
was
best
show
that
happened
in
India.
Talking
about
reality
shows,
Jaaved
was
quoted
by
Indian
Express
as
saying,
"There
are
pros
and
cons.
I
personally
feel
that
the
biggest
pro
is
that
the
talent
is
getting
an
opportunity,
a
platform.
The
cons
are
that
sometimes
these
shows
become
too
contrived.
All
of
them
are
looking
the
same.
It
(the
sob
stories)
looks
fake."
He
feels
Boogie
Woogie
was
organic,
real,
from
the
heart
and
not
scripted.
The
actor
said
that
in
Boogie
Woogie,
things
just
happened
and
it
used
to
be
a
surprise.
He
added
that
whenever
someone
would
narrate
a
story,
their
reactions
would
come
naturally
and
they
paid
attention
to
it
but
knew
that
it
was
a
show,
a
platform
to
showcase
talent,
so,
just
sob
stories
never
became
the
only
way
to
go
about
it.
He
said
Boogie
Woogie
was
about
talent
and
was
about
hope,
conquering
disability
and
was
not
a
set
up.
Jaaved
concluded
by
saying,
"I
miss
Boogie
Woogie.
It
is
the
best
show
that
happened
in
this
country.
It
should
come
back
but
unfortunately,
it
is
not
in
my
hand."
