Buzzz ~ Remarriage, still a tabboo?

Television is rapidly changing to accommodate new ideas that reflect the changing nature of society these days. Keeping that in mind, Zee TV came up with a novel way to promote their new show Punarvivaah, where they had panelists to debate to discuss the issue of remarriage. The panel comprised of personalities like Dr Archana Jambusaria and Dr Sayeda Ruksheda among others, who shared their views on the same. Sukesh Motwani, Head-Fiction Programming, Zee TV said,"We have so many questions — should those who have faced a debacle in their first attempts at marriage be brave enough to give life a second chance? We'd like to challenge the double standards Indians display towards the issue of remarriage — while men can easily remarry, women who wish to find hapiness again through remarriage are frowned upon by conservative sections of society." Archana opined that it was best to completely wipe out memories of the first relationship. "One should walk into the new relationship with no baggage, otherwise you can never do justice to your new partner…" Giving a different view on the subject, Sayeda said that the issue of discrimination and prejudice against a divorced woman also applies to divorced men. "They also face questions, she pointed out, though admitting that women definitely have it tougher when it comes to remarriage. Writer and co-producer of Punarvivaah, Shashi Mittal said that the most gratifying moment since the launch of the show was when the lead actor's (Kratika) neighbour in Kanpur called her to say that after watching the show, she also felt encouraged to get her widowed daughter-in-law remarried! Talk about creating an instant impact!
