Barbaric scenes reminds me of the recent controversy that is going on.
Indian govt banned a documentary which contains interviews with one of the men who is sentenced for raping and killing a girl.
On one hand we want to close our eyes and ears to the reality. We want to pretend that all is well with our minds and the society and on the other hand the fiction shows go over board while depicting the crimes against the weak, women and children.
The current toppers in fiction genre - One show is all about exploiting the weaker sections of the society by making them bonded labourers they are buying generations of cheap labour by exploiting the poor the same show deals about exploitation of children and shows the protagonist fighting circumstances
Balika Vadhu started off with a girl questioning the traditions and fighting the society now in an attempt to go back to their theme they are going overboard to show the fight of a child - surprisingly it still seems to make money for the makers and the channel
As for the child actors getting affected by these scenes - I think it should be left to the parents of those children ultimately it is their responsibility and of course to an extent the responsibility of the makers too.
-----------
We are a nation of peculiar people and an even more peculiar government close eyes and minds to reality that surrounds us and depict reality in a fiction show so that we can make money through it.
