Sacch Ka Saamna 1 is the first season of India's reality series Sacch Ka Saamna which premiered on July 15, 2009 under the same title, and continued until its finale on September 18, 2009. The season was hosted by Rajeev Khandelwal.
Controversy
In just its first week, the show has created a controversy, with some sections of people demanding that the show be stopped on the premise that admission of gross personal or social misconduct by celebrities on national television will make it more "morally acceptable" for others to indulge in similar activity, thereby leading to a gradual weakening of society's morals.[1][2]
Some others believe that sensitive and potentially devastating issues should be discussed between the contestants and their family or friends privately, and not publicly as is the case.[3] There are also some who applaud the contestants for having the courage to bare all in full public glare. A few have even questioned the accuracy of the polygraph results. MP Kamal Akhtar took up the issue in the Rajya Sabha, arguing that the questions asked in the show were against Indian culture and demanding a halt to its screening.[4]
