Reality shows have become a significant platform for young contestants to achieve fame and recognition in the entertainment industry. However, there are cases where contestants who gained sudden popularity did not survive long enough to enjoy their success. The shocking deaths of several such contestants have brought the darker side of reality TV to light, leaving fans and the industry grappling with their loss.

One notable case is that of Mayank Pawar, who rose to fame through 'Splitsvilla 7'. His death on February 24 at the young age of 37 is particularly tragic, as the exact cause is not yet confirmed, although rumors suggest liver damage. The suddenness of his passing has left fans and colleagues reeling, emphasizing the volatile nature of fame in the entertainment industry, especially for young stars.

Similarly, Danish Zehen, known for his lifestyle blogs and rap songs, found fame through Vikas Gupta’s show 'Ace of Space'. His promising career was cut short in 2018 when he tragically died in a car accident. These incidents highlight the potential dangers and personal struggles that reality show participants face, often hidden behind the glitzy facade of instant fame. The entertainment world must acknowledge these challenges and support contestants' well-being to prevent such tragedies in the future.
