She was dusky
She was a bai's daughter
She had no one to rely on, not even her mother
These were the traits that defined her
But she refused to let them limit her
She was smart, spunky and intelligent
And she was going to get her Ek Muthi Asmaan
That was what attracted me to this show
The dreams and struggles of Kalpi as played by Rachana P
Atlast we had a show which was going to break the mould , I thought !
Well, was I wrong
The PH was not happy with Rach's performance,
Maybe, well they are bosses, so it's their prerogative to fire whoever they want
What has been the biggest let down
Has been the replacement
Had she been replaced by another dusky homely looking girl
Which would have kept the ethos of kalpi intact, there would have been some credibility to this
But she was replaced by a fair and "beautiful" kalpi
And now she has a rich daddy too,
This fictional kalpi had it easy
She just fell off the cliff
And two days later woke up rich and fair
For millions of real life kalpis who want to make it big
On their own talent,
The message from our CVs is very clear
The only way for a girl to be successful
Is to be fair skinned and to have a rich dad
Instead of The message that the world respects talent and hard work and
anybody with guts and ambition will succeed, looks notwithstanding
The cvs are giving a message that only girls who are fair skinned can dare to dream and achieve
Dark skinned girls, who want to make it on their intellect and hard work
Can just go jump off a cliff !
