Indian, Pak participants clash during reality show

Dubai, Aug 6 (UNI) Security men were called to separate clashing angry Indian and Pakistani contestants during filming of the second series of a reality show featuring budding enterpreneurs in Abu Dhabi, an online magazine reported.

The Arabian Business said quoting sources that tempers boiled over between the teams during filming of the episode two of the second series The Hydra Executives, in Abu Dhabi earlier this week.

Two teams of eight ''budding entrepreneurs'' from India and Pakistan are battling for a one million dollar prize on the reality TV show, being judged by Hydra Properties boss Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim.

''Things got very heated with a lot of name calling and shouting between the Indian and Pakistani teams. It became quite scary and we have had to look at security issues on the show as a result,'' said a source.

Another source added, ''We knew that there would be friction in the room if we put together teams from India and Pakistan but nobody thought it would get this serious. It's fair to say the teams aren't getting on with each other.'' The first series of the Hydra Executives, featuring teams competing from the US and the UK, is due to be aired in the UAE from early October.
