Today, what best works in the TV business apart from emotional drama are the reality shows! The genre has come a long way from the times of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Antakshari, where all that mattered-was talent and simple fun.

And with TVT ratings notching higher and higher, we must say they have managed to give the desired result expected from them. Here we bring you the Top Reality Shows that have soared in popularity in 2013. Bigg Boss 7 (Endemol) – Well, truly the boss of reality shows, Bigg Boss has been a game changer in its genre. With getting around a dozen celebrities from every field coming together under the same roof with no access to the outside world, the show has turned wilder and controversial year after year. With Dabbang Salman Khan holding the reign as the affable host, this Colors’ show sure is a winner in the field.

Sony Entertainment Television also cashed in at the ratings front. Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6 (BBC Worldwide Productions) - This celebrity reality show may be based on dance, but it works only because of the popular stars it has in its list of contestants. Colors, which already has Bigg Boss, stands high with this show too. The series always manages to get the most popular and interesting celebrities from different fields who train in various dance forms every week to burn the dance floor with their moves. Also the show has popular comedy stars Manish Paul and Kapil Sharma who takes the entertainment quotient a notch high as hosts. And not to mention the impressive judges trio- Karan Johar, Madhuri Dixit and Remo Dsouza. Kaun Banega Crorepati (Big Synergy) – Well, when you have the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan testing your knowledge, you really need to be confident and smart to answer him. The show is a big catch for Sony TV who every year brings out the best sharp minds on the show and helps them win big moolahs with their intelligence. Added to it is the charm of Big B, who keeps the viewers, entertained throughout. MasterChef India (Colesceum Productions) – Food is always a very important part of Indian culture and when you have a common man like yourself rustling up an exotic dish, you become their fan instantly.
