These days, all TV channels seems to be talking about them. What she wears, what he wears, what the invite looks like…Shaadi ke laddoo…mehndi…
How much does the TRP for channels go up now? God Alone Knows…But on an aam junta note, I want to dig in more…like every other curious Indian…
For God’s sake, she cannot act…and yes, beauty…she is for the male homo sapien version. He, learnt his lessons the hard way, got stylish and more mature…somewhere a glimpse of the act of acting shines. They belong to families, his, the famous crowd pulling Bachchan clan and hers, a middle class normal types…!
Now why is it that Indians, including me, sit blink eyed when it comes to celebrity marriages, endorsements, helping the poor shows…thankfully yours truly is still not struck by the reality tv bug…are we so so fanatically celeb-crazy?
How I think of it, if merely as entertainment. The in-built curiousity of an Indian to know what goes in the other’s house…the irresistible urge to know, let know, and more. Were we like this all through?
Hmmm…didn’t we know decades back about Amitabh and Rekha relationship? Yes Sir, we did…
Didn’t we know that Pandit Nehru, somewhere in his heart had a softer corner for Mrs. Edwina Mountbatten? Yes Sir, we did…
Didn’t we know that Lord Krishna was…hello…we have reached centuries behind…
So coming back to the point…maybe the TV channels today know and they definitely know to capitalise on this “knowledge bank” that the Indians love to collect…now what do we do about it?
“You know…there was this girl who wrote this article…about Abhi and Ash, I am sure she is depressed in her life…She is not married…”
See…I just told you the same!!!
Cheers!
