yeah!!! I am not the only crazy one!!!!
Regarding, "Frumpy Jaisi Koi Nahin," what does one say about this
nonsense of an article piece? Sony Entertainment has thoroughly let their
viewers down once again. From Kkusum to Fame Gurkul, Sony offers
nothing but lies.
First off, Sony is misrepresenting their disgruntled viewers. A majority of
avid fans were not upset with her transformation physically. We knew
this was happening and it would be a lot of fun to watch. What we did
not expect was that Jasmeet Walia was not only transforming her
appearance, but her name and identity as well. From this day, no one has
been able to relate to her, because it accomplished nothing. She gave out
a fuzzy message, you have to change to make in the world...uh, ok. My
question to the viewers: When Jessica Bedi went to court, was it
stimulating to watch what was going to happen to her? Didn't we all
know she would be innocent or was it too hard to predict? Now she is
going back to her old looks to go where? I am lost. Sony has this great
idea that they will change her back. What a riot?!
So Sony has misrepresented their viewers, lied to them and casually
decided to hammer the final nail into the coffin of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin.
The protagonist is going to give out some message to all women to be
strong and not get into oppressive relationships. Hey! Wait a minute,
don't all indian serials preach the same thing? Hasn't Jassi endured
enough trials and tribulations to finally reach a point that she could marry
the man of her dreams? Hmm...did I miss something?
According to this article, Armaan was not suitable for Jassi and thereby
Jassi decides to leave him at the last moment. She leaves her parents
high and dry because, "... Our message is: don't let anyone mess without
your dignity and self-worth...???" I can name more than 10 instances
where Jassi has had her self worth messed around with. So what is Sony
trying to back track on?
Looking back, I relish the moments that I laughed and cried with Jassi.
She was my idol and I looked up to her. All I ever ask anymore is what
happened? I don't know how to get my message across that all that
mattered was that Jassi was still good at heart...it didn't matter if she had
a transformation. I can't believe that I was such a loyal supporter of Jassi.
She let us down at the last moment.
For those of you who don't know what happened. CJ (Vikash Balla, I don't
think I can watch a movie or hear a song of yours again) is out to destroy
Jassi. He makes it appear as though he slept with Jassi and he tells
Armaan that it happened as well. Armaan did his duty, he confronted
Jassi, he begged her, he cried to her that if nothing happened, he will
never question her again...but she chooses to play a smart alleck and and
she didn't give a direct response. Then he slapped her. I understand that
Armaan slapping Jassi was not right, but to tell you the truth it was high
time that someone did to knock some sense into her. Apparently, as we
can all see now violence is not a good thing, because you do even
stranger things...like runaway rather than confront the attacker??? Was
she that afraid of Armaan that she couldn't answer him and had to run
away? Pretty sad, Jassi...pretty sad.
If one takes a moment to think about it, she could have confronted
Armaan at the alter or talked to her family about calling off the marriage,
but I reiterate she chose to run away. She could have gotten mad at
him...asked him what he saw...she could have screamed at him, they
could have talked about it. None of this took place. Now folks, I am one
of those people who does not keep trust in their vocabulary. We live in
such times that one needs to hope for the best and expect the worst. I
feel that communication plays a greater role in happy and prosperous
relationship. Alas, as we have seen, communication and consistency are
not Jassi's greatest strengths.
In fact, Sony is putting all the blame on Armaan, but why? I laugh as I say
this, Armaan has been through his own trials and tribulations trying to
get Jassi back. I don't know what the makers were thinking when they
decided to give him a 360 degree u turn back to negativity. I guess as
usual...everyone around Jassi has to look bad in order for her to look
mahan.
Also, Jassi and her family should take some of the blame too on
everything that transpired. Why did her family let her go to see Purab on
the eve of her wedding by herself? This does not happen in real life. To
top it off, she asks a man whom she barely knows to stay in the same
hotel room with her. Come on, he was sleeping in the hotel lobby not in
the frigid cold. She didn't once take the moment to think about the
impact this would have on her to be in laws or her parents if they found
out. I am sorry if this sounds old fashion, I don't mean to sound that way,
but there are some things you just don't do. There are some times that
you need to think about what the world has to say just to keep you out of
possible trouble. I don't care if her intentions were good, but the
situation wasn't so bad that she had to take such steps.
Jassi does not deserve any sort of iconic status and definitely does not
have my support. I refuse to support someone who is so selfish and
hypocrital. To prove how great she is, Armaan's character had to take a
360 degree circle to prove her greatness. It is too late Jassi. Sony
entertainment should have just stuck to showing the wedding rather than
all this unnessary hypocracy.
Finally, if the makers had stuck to Betty La Fea, they wouldn't be running
into these kinds of problems. I urge Tony and Deeya Singh not screw up
anymore good adaptations. If you can't do it right, then don't do it
all...hmmm...that is the message Jassi should be giving out.
PS - Katyal says, "..."Jassi ki shaadi pe kissiki nazar lag gayi..." Mr and
Mrs. Singh, and Mr. Katyal, keep your eyes off a good thing nahin tho
uspe bhi tumhari nazar lag jayegi.
