Sari Sindoor & Glycerine Awards
NEW SHOWS, new characters. How could we not do a Season 3 of our Sari, Sindoor and Glycerine Awards? And there's a new section this time: the Firangi Tadka!
WHEN WE began the Sari Sindoor and Glycerine Awards three years ago, our TV screens were awash with bad-saas-good-bahu soaps. Everything was so ridiculous and regressive, we couldn't help but laugh. This year, tucked into the pallus and hiding amidst the polki, is some watchable programming. Indian TV is finally growing up, getting a conscience, getting a life! Don't worry. There's still plenty to laugh about, plenty to pull your hair out, even in our new section on firang TV (we're equalopportunity shooters).
TV knows where it wants to go, and we know where it's been. Ab, aage...

Hotter Than Hot Award

Here is his picture (with the heroine, played by Sanaya Irani). Look at it. (Heterosexual men, please excuse. Heterosexual women, now, now, please behave!)
