16 Forgotten Indian Reality TV Stars You Were Once Obsessed With! #WayBackWednesday

Remember the good ol’ days when reality shows weren’t the order of the day, but were a whole new exciting genre for Indian television? And remember how famous some of the contestants on the show got? It’s amazing how quickly their super stardom turned to dust – almost as quickly as they became stars in the first place.

Here’s a trip down memory lane…

1. Rahul Vaidya

Also, is that Jay Bhanushali in the video?

7. Rex D’Souza

He was constantly being made to lose weight, right? When he wasn’t being “linked up” to Rooprekha, that is.

8. Rooprekha Bannerjee
