I will not like my child to participate in a reality show Sameera Reddy

After Shilpa Shetty, Urmila Matondkar, Raveena Tandon and Isha Koppikar, making their debut on television as judge or host in reality shows, it’s the turn of yet another bombshell to join the bandwagon. With Sony and Balaji’s new reality show Kabhii Kabhii Pyaar,Kabhii Kabhii Yaar , Sameera Reddy joins the gang. The gorgeous Sameera is excited about her new career and in a freewheeling chat pours her heart out about thea show and her stint as judge. What made you take up this up when you have targeted the big screen? Well I feel today television is as big as Bollywood. When I first saw Amitabh Bachchan on television it was quite interesting. Then came Shah Rukh Khan, Salman and recently Akshay Kumar has also made his way to the small screen. Therefore I too thought of giving it a try. You can say that I just followed them. What attracted you the most to K2P K2Y? I basically wanted to judge the children on a dance based reality show. I just love kids and seeing them dancing make me feel happy. When I heard this concept I just loved it as K2P K2Y seems to be more dramatic than movies too. Thus I went ahead with the show. What aspects will you concentrate on? My job is to look at the presentation of the contestants. We have completed the shoot of the first two episode and presentation wise the contestants were ok. I still think they need help when it comes to dressing. I have been tender with my comments but now I have to be little strict. I have already started the grooming session with some girls on their attire and presentation. How will you deal with the ‘melodrama’ on reality shows? When there are clashes of opinion you can see the sparks fly. I’ll definitely reason out why the judges commented in that particular manner. To be frank I’m very emotional and things like this will keep occurring. That is why I’m a little scared. I know if I feel bad I’m going to cry. As an actor how difficult it is to take criticism? It’s difficult but for me it depends on the situation. Being in this glamorous world not everybody will like you. If I get compliments for my work it makes me feel good. There may be some who may not like me so these things keep happening. For me only the opinions of my fans, family and close people matters most. Would you ever like your child to participate in a reality show? If you ask me whether I would permit my child to participate in such shows then it’s a big no and the reason is the tremendous stress. At my age I can feel so much of stress sitting on the other side. It’s going to be hard for me if I have to announce the eliminations. My life is also stressful so how can I let my small kid live such a life? After K2P K2Y will you be seen again on television? As of yet I have not yet decided. I’m an emotional person and thus little scared about being carried away. You can say that I took up this show as an experiment and to see whether I fit in or not. Let time decide whether I’ll do any other reality show or not. For now my priority and commitment is Kabhii Kabhii Pyaar,Kabhii Kabhii Yaar
