Director Shoojit Sircar is raising a relevant point. Earlier this year, the filmmaker directed a short film titled #ReleaseThePressure which dealt with exam and its pressure on the kids. Now, Shoojit has appealed to the TV authorities to put a ban on all the reality shows that involve children.
The filmmaker took to Twitter to express his concern and said: “Humble request to authorities to urgently ban all reality shows involving children. It's actually destroying them emotionally and their purity.”

His short film was made with an aim of creating awareness among parents about their child’s performance anxiety.
"Mounting pressure on the kids to perform has become a stark reality of every urban child's growing up years. And I firmly believe our primary responsibility as a conscientious parent, as citizens and as makers of this film, is to not only raise this issue but also to raise it in a manner keeping in mind the sensitivity of the matter for the kids that face it," had said the Piku filmmaker.
