Sach Ka Samna reality show format

The participants are selected after the research team has done a psycho-analysis of personality type and their past. They go through three tests and interviews before reaching the polygraph test. In the test, participants are put on the hot seat and asked 50 questions in a row and are given 25 seconds to answer each.

The family of the contestant collectively has a button in front of them, which can stop a question from being answered at anytime, but it can be used only once by the group. If the button is pushed, that question is removed and a replacement question takes its place.

The authenticity of the contestants’ responses is determined by a polygraph examination and the right answers are not known to anyone, neither the production house, the host or even the channel. The questions are broken into six levels with a prize money at each level for an ultimate cash prize of Rs. 1 crore and with each passing level questions get tougher, more personal and increasingly edgy.

The first level consists of six questions, and answering all of them truthfully will win the contestant Rs. 100,000 of prize money. The next level has five questions and the prize money goes up to Rs. 500,000. The third, fourth and fifth levels consist of four, three and two questions respectively, with the prize money being Rs. 1,000,000, Rs. 2,500,000 and Rs. 5,000,000 respectively. The final level has only one question, with the truthful answer fetching the maximum prize money of Rs. 10,000,000.

Contestants can decide to stop at any time and leave the show; at that point they will win the amount of the last level successfully completed provided they haven’t heard the next question to be asked. If the contestant lie at any level, he/she loses all the money and will be out of the show. [Source: timesofindia.indiatimes.com and wikipedia.org ]
