Pyaar Panga aur MMS

Aaj Tak pe aapka swaagat hai…! We deliver news to you which no other channel does…I say, obviously!

You wonder where this comes from..it is a news bulletin…they talk about how a struggling actress from Bhopal was publically assaulted by her so called husband. There are scenes of hair pulling torture flashing across the screen…cut to, an aggressive young girl, screaming in defense in the news studio…and the boy all wounded…both kept far way from each other..to avoid further drama!

Two days after this…I switch on to the same channel…and what I see is the same people, the same background but a different story..the story of the videos, MMS, SMS and the love-letters that the boy has given to the channel o make his stance stronger. His claim: they got married (which the video proves) and after the girl shot to fame in the TV world ( I don’t know what their standards of fame are, that girl is one serial old! ) she broke the marriage and refused to get back to him…there’s a twist in the tail…coz now instead of defending themselves, they hurl allegations at each other’s families!

What is bizarre here is not that a) a news channel is showing all this or b) that the story grows in leaps and bounds every time you watch but c) that I don’t believe any of this.

With such convincing arguments also, the psyche of a normal human being has been moulded such that we tend not to believe anything that is shown…everything is a publicity stunt…one shot to fame! And I think that is what they are getting out of it…it is truly said that public memory is short-lived..while nobody will remember the negatives of their families…everyone will remember them if they are seen on TV…
So my verdict is ,that is what it is…nautanki is what we call it…to do it on the stage you have to do it off stage first! I hate to be so skeptical but that is what the trend says!
