Viral Video: Himanshu Mishra is the name that created ripples recently on social media because of his alleged Rs 96 lakh online gaming loss. With the more details coming in one surprising revelation has been that of a viral video wherein himanshu takes offense at the media for playing the emotions for TRPs and sensationalism.
Himanshu Reveals Media Pressure for Emotional Display
In the viral video, Himanshu can be seen saying how national news channels forced him to shed tears in interviews to increase the TRP ratings. He also says the reporters kept telling him to recall sad moments, like calling his girlfriend, to evoke tears for the camera. Despite those attempts, he could not cry, even when they played those sad songs by Arijit Singh, for example.
Statements by Himanshu raise serious doubts over the credibility of media agencies and claim that they exploit people in the name of creating dramatic content. His statements are pointers toward a much larger issue of how the madness for TRP at times comes above ethical journalism.
Viral Video Sparks Public Outrage on Media Manipulation
Viral Video posted by one Rajesh Sahu on X (formerly Twitter) has reached the masses, where users reacted to the role of media agencies allegedly staging emotional breakdowns for higher ratings. The story of Himanshu is an anecdote that leaves a dark cloak on the business of online games and sets questions ablaze about how much media sensationalism influences public narratives and human emotions for the sake of viewership. One person commented, “TV media TRP ke liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai.” Another person commented, “media ne isko viral kia ab ne media ko badnam kr viral krega.” One more person said, “Media acting kara rhi hai.”
While talking on a YouTuber Shalini Kapoor Tiwari’s podcast, Himanshu himself gave detailed information about his loss of 96 lakhs. While talking about this, he started crying bitterly. After performing brilliantly in the JEE exam, Himanshu initially took up online gaming just for entertainment. He started playing games with a small amount of just Rs 49, but gradually his addiction increased and he started playing games on betting apps.
