glad you mentioned it...ok I have a point to make here..from past proffessional experience I can speak that college boys DO act as sperm donors in a lot of fertility clinics...its NOT A FAD or A MYTH..so I think they did not really fabricate it...although the humor was sleazy no doubt about it 😆 I have a question though...Why is it that we can take sexual jokes in a show like FRIENDS and not in an INDIAN show..I would like to think it has to do with the way they present it..i mean not make it cheap humor...
Again I was surprised to hear it come from uday ..y uday any character in mjht mouthing it would have surprised me..coz MJHT has never closely depicted reality..n for once I beg to differ..I just hope though that would chose to portray other real youth issues...also i dont think it has much to do with 11 yr olds watching coz they watch friends too which has loads of innuendos...so I wouldnt completely like to trash it but only hope this whole locker room talk was done a lil more tastefully...
Well sonali, I started watching Friends from season 1. I used to watch it with mom, and not with dad...as it was quite odd watching it with parents...especially with dad's as I was in my teens.
I know that Indian television is mostly family oriented I think we already know that for a fact. We watch the soaps, or youth shows with our parents. I know that I used to watch Baa bahoo aur baby with them (family oriented), but with mjht, and dmg....i prefer to watch alone. why?🤔
Well reason is that these shows initially had no probs, but once it came around towards the pheli baar scene, I felt...its good I didn't tell my parents about MJHT. It either has too much of romance or scenes of Uday donating his sperm. Yes! 🤬That would be hard for my parents to digest if they are watching indian tv with me (either usa, or india) where my dadi is also floating in and out of the room!😲
Now they watch bidaai, at times together...why well b/c its the normal desi tv which does not show details or go in details of donating a sperm. Even Baa Bahoo aur baby, kichadi, or kasautii didn't have that, and their genre were different. they were certain age oriented. MJHT is a youth show...hence 13-30 yrs. Bidaai, kasautii are older age 20- 50+, so they range very different.
Friends was american show, if you live in america or born n brought up here....you really understand it. Indian Tv is indian oriented as the society has not evolved all over india (to the full extent). Also watching it with mom, was ok as women, mother-daughters can connect, but the reason why she allowed was..that she knew somewhere that her "sanskar" was not messed up. Most high school students i know were getting drunk or knocked up.. Yes and how? b/c most of their parents allowed them to that freedom. Indian Society and people who abide by it.. Now friends did have its moments of showing various content (language, sexual, etc), but it was ok, for the society it depicts.
love
