&quot;Reality shows strive on emotions. People like to watch how a person works for 18 hours to earn 1,000 bucks a day or hardships faced by an autorickshaw driver. This is because they relate to the hardships,&quot; Apurv told IANS on phone from Mumbai. <img alt="" src="http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2012/may/Apurva-Shilpa.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 606px; " /> &quot;No one would really like to listen to the stories of a multi-millionaire. &#39;Aasma Se Aagey&#39; delves into the world of reality shows. I wouldn&#39;t say it is 100 percent based on reality shows - 70 percent is about the reality shows, 30 percent is fiction,&quot; he added.u00a0The actor has himself participated in the reality shows like &quot;Nach Baliye&quot; and &quot;Pati Patni Aur Woh&quot;.u00a0 By agreeing to work in &#39;Aasma Se Aagey&#39;, Apurv says, he has taken a risk. The show comes on Life OK.u00a0&quot;I have taken a risk, but I like it. It is a path-breaking show, something, which has not been on television before. The show has opened up well, considering there was hardly any publicity. Moreover, it clashes with &#39;Bade Acche Lagte Hain&#39; (on Sony) on same time slot,&quot; he said.u00a0 Apurv is one actor who made a trasition from big to small screen. After working in movies like &quot;Pardes&quot; and &quot;Pyaar Koi Khel Nahin&quot;, he moved to small screen. The 39-year-old rose to fame on TV as Armaan Malik in popular show &quot;Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin&quot;. Later he featured in &quot;Kaajjal&quot;, &quot;Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi&quot;.u00a0 The actor feels television is yet to evolve.u00a0&quot;I don&#39;t think television has evolved as yet, we are still trying to. The saas-bahu serials still rule the roost. People still like to watch such shows and are hesitant to accept new concepts,&quot; he said. Lot of shows start off with new concepts, but end up showing saas-bahu politics. This, as Apurv says, is done to make profit and added: &quot;For the benefit of the show, they include major twist and turns.&quot; &quot;I think we should start having various seasons of the shows, just like American drama &#39;Desperate Housewives&#39;, where the curiosity remains among the audience,&quot; he added.u00a0What about going back to movies? u00a0&quot;I have no idea when would I be back on big screen. I always opt for something that excites me. I would love to direct,&quot; he said.u00a0
