Star Bharat's Om Shanti Om is one of a kind reality show that amalgamates traditional bhajans with modern-age raps.
Contestants have the freedom to tweak the devotional songs and add their own modernness into it, without hurting religious sentiments obviously. The show has bought glamour on board by roping in Sonakshi Sinha, Kanika Kapoor and Shekhar Ravjiani as judges. While the three will be secondary judges, Yoga Guru Ramdev Baba is seen as the maha guru aka supreme mentor in the bhajan singing competition.
While the show is yet to garner the expected TRPs, it seems the makers are confident of their project and are leaving no stone unturned in making the show hit the right chord, even if it makes a hole in their pocket. According to PeepingMoon.com's sources, the Yoga Master Blaster RamDev Baba has asked for a whopping 8 lakh per episode. And to everybody's surprise, the makers, apparently with a heavy heart are willing to pay the amount as they believe Baba's magic will do wonders for the show, considering it is his debut as a judge on a reality show.
The show kick-started on August 28th on Star Bharat, that was earlier Life OK. Ramdev Baba's entry was nothing less than a rockstar. Draped in his saffron attire and baring his hirsute yet toned belly, Baba was seen plucking the strings of a guitar.
