So yesterday it was last lunch of the week before weekend with friends at office. Our random usual discussions took a route and we landed up in discussing about our favourite show Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi.
We spoke a lot about the casts acting talent, the deep rooted emotions..
And then came a topic I thought I wanted to discuss here with you all. While discussing about the show, we reached a point, where many around me spoke how true this show is in the actual scenarios around us with almost everyone sharing one similar instance they faced in their life which was shown in the show too.
And then it was time to face the truth. Amongst all our discussions, almost everyone had one more thing common. And what was that?
We don't watch the show at its actual telecast time...hello? But why?
If you love the show then why not watch it @9.30pm, its actual telecast time.
Ahhh...coz 9.30 is usually dinner time and everyone in the family is together. So?? Is there anything being shown that a family cannot watch together.
Tap came the replies..
1. Nahi wo baat nahi hai...bt my Mother-in-law is also there, unke saath mein aisa sab nahi dekh sakte...aisa sab to khud ke saath hota hi hai ghar mein. She'll get more ideas..
2. When my mum-in-law watches, she justifies and empathises with Ishwari And I can't take it and I can't justify Sonakshi in front of her. Why to take sides when I know who is wrong? Isliye wo alag se dekhti hai aur main alag se.
3. I can't take out my frustration in front of my husband and my MIL. These scenes remind me of my story and so I can vent out my emotions watching it alone..
4. My husband is also there..after so many years of our marriage, he's improved a little. Else he was also Just like Dev. Better he doesn't watch this again. So whatever they show, better to watch alone...
5. Even if we watch it together, it has happened 2-3 times that there comes a scene where they speak things that It reminded us of a similar scene that happened to us in real and it made the situation very awkward...I could feel my Mom-in-law was thinking the same and so we had to deviate our attention to something else for those 2 minutes.
6. In continuation to 5...Exactly, when u have to skip all important parts in front of others, what's the use watching it together. So I watch it alone when it comes on repeat.
These answers were not surprising and again took me to the same question...where are we going as a society?
It's sad to see how we all Are very much ready to see all kind of regressive things being shown on television which are far from reality together but we are not ok to watch the reality and question ourselves or others of similar things going on in our own lives.
Do we have a part of Ishwari, Dev and Sonakshi in us? A side which we are not ready fo accept in open? A reality we are not ready to face in open?? Are we running from reality?
Or is it that we are tired of reality and want to watch something which doesn't show us the mirror?
