Sufi Motiwala’s journey took a bold step forward with his appearance in the debut show Traitors, where he showcased his dynamic personality and creative flair. Since then, he has continued to build his voice as a critic and creator in the fashion space. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, Sufi opened up about why he signed ‘Traitors’ and shared with us something that nobody knows about reality shows.
Talking about why he signed a reality show, Sufi said, “When you sign a reality show, you have to do it with the awareness that the whole point is for people to talk about you. That’s why I find it very duplicitous when people sign projects, go through with them, and then later behave like victims — blaming it on the edit and whatnot. I think that’s just bogus.”
He continued, “The reason I signed a reality show was because I wanted people to watch me, talk about me, follow me, and get in tune with my journey. Otherwise, why the hell would you even sign it? That’s just part of the process, and you have to live it. The key to a reality show is to live it — the friendships you make, the enemies you make, everything. You just have to see it through, and eventually, it all fades away. Honestly, I don’t think people even remember anything in the long run.”
When asked about what is the one thing that people don’t know about reality shows, Sufi replied, “On reality shows, people always keep claiming “scripted, scripted, scripted,” just because the show follows a certain plotline. But here’s the thing, most captivating reality shows cannot be scripted, because they are controlled. There’s a difference between being scripted and being controlled. “
He went on to explain further by saying, “Controlled meaning ki uss ghar mein voh aise situations create karte karte hai, aise haalat create karte hai, aise statements bulwaate hai jisse bhasad mache ya reaction mile ya plot aage badhe. but whatever people are doing, they’re doing out of their own volition, their own thinking, their own zubaan, that’s all them. “
Sufi ends it by saying, “Koi aake yeh nahi bol raha ki isko gaali do, show pe sab jo bhi kar rhe hai khudh hi se kar rhe hai, bas situations production create kar raha hai”
