Reality show in India: India minus one life!

      As I have written in my earlier articles as well; there are so many people around, who in the name of liberty for anything, don’t hesitate or do anything or say anything! One such prominent name recently I quoted was Ms. Arundhati Roy and in this chain the other name which was bound to add was of Rakhi Sawant; sooner or later!

      Just going through the TV last night and newspapers this day I am shocked for someone took his own life because of the drama and scene created by this loudmouth dump who strongly believes that “ Jo dikhta hai wo Bikta hai” and who did not care that she should be knwoing what she was saying. Poor Laxman Prasad could not digest the humiliation from drama queen Rakhi Sawant on a show named “ Rakhi Ka Insaaf” ( Justice by Rakhi) and took his life within a week after appearing on the doomed TV. What a tragic end for someone who could not make out difference between reality and acting.

      I thought whom to blame for a life who could have been saved otherwise, had the problem solved on the screen  been brought forward to the notice of some logical eminent personalities who understood the subject better other than the cluster of India’s most average intellectuals professionals who have nothing to offer other than sex, abuse, drama and noutanki in the name of entertainment? Anyway, collectively we all are responsible for his death for :
      • It is this drama queen Rakhi Sawant, who does not  spare her own family even if it comes about creating scene in front of flash lights and camera! We have been watching her latkas, jhatkas, and she has gone more arrogant in recent years!

      • The makers of the kind of shows where they offer for anything else than already confused Indian society which has neither has it’s values intact with it now they adopted the westernones. In quest of TRP’s these showmen have disgraced us.
     • We, the people interested in what is cooking in neighbour's home. These so called reality shows are the result of our curiosity to know about others.

      Few years back a girl with very ordinary looks but a toned body tried her luck in Bollywood with her cleavage showing music album and later doing sexy item songs in Hindi films. In the journey she became the master of art of creating sympathy in her favour and soon she became the darling of crowd for her openness, genuine straigthforwardness and articulate struggle in the industry.
      People loved her for her sense of creating drama at any time on anyone or any place. It was harmless drama so far. If it was Rakhi around, drama was bound to happen. Be it the nudity, Mika kissing case, to her breakup and later patch up with her so called boy friend, her change of religion, her plastic surgery; everything!! It was strange that none took her seriously. For everyone in industry and people; she was a dump girl with a clean conscious and enough reason to get the sympathy and job for she had been from a lower-class family and who believed in struggle. Her quest for a suitable groom on TV brought her a household name in India recently though every kid in the country knew that she won’t get marry the guy she has chosen and as planned soon they both were on their own way.



      In the next show "Pati Patni aur woh" they appeared as a couple and Rakhi seemed to be running out of luck this time. It was far clear that Rakhi can not be a good wife and the story of her fall begun. Moreover, by then it has clearly visible that this lady always wanted attention at any cost and she is just than dump; cunning. Her act started to irritate people more than entertaining them. She knew far much than being innocent in making fool of masses and herself too.
      I am appalled to see the numbers of people who hate Rakhi Sawant on facebook, are more than 1.5 lakhs whereas her followers are almost none. It just shows how unwanted she has become today.
      What the director and producer could not notice that the name which has been added to Rakhi’s name except dump was stupid. Here this word has a great significant for the career of this lady. The people who had earlier sympathy with Rakhi Sawant got started getting irritated with her foul mouth language and more then required drama. For how long anyone could bear a lady with empty head and with poor sense of humor? The producer of “Rakhi Ka Insaaf” did not realize that; to run a show more than anything you require is the art of arresting the attention of the viewers. It is not just enough to be a glib, non sense talker. Poor Rakhi, all she knew about this was to shout on those poor people who were more interested in being on TV than discussing their case.
      Calling a man on a national TV eunuch; is not decorative but for a family; living in a society would have to pay a heavy price in Indian villages that is for sure in such situations. Laxman Prasad could not bear the taunts of people being around on being called as an eunuch (Napunsak) and committed suicide!
      It leaves a serious question behind. Have we gone to the extend in search of something new that we don’t care about the sensitive thread of relationships and the people like Rakhi Sawant have mushroomed around? How much we would ask for in the name of reality that the difference between actual and real life is vanished? How many “Big Boss” “Rakhi Ka Insaaf” “Iss jungle se mujhe bachao” “Nach Baliye” “ Comedy Circus” etc will be aired and till when?
      Time will tell but for our part all we can do to shut either the mouth of these stupid individuals on the TV which is relatively difficult than shut the TV itself. In both, that is good for us and our kids.
