@santi absolutely correct

The makers have just reduced every burning and relevant issue to zilch without addressing it in any relevant manner whatsoever- it pains to watch such grave crimes/issues trivialised and loosely adapted within tracks in the name of stories or tracks

Just mentioned this in the thread @tibs has made that in all likelihood this issue of an underage driving which is relevant to and prevalent in Delhi will all but be swept under the rug conveniently

Very distressing to watch such stuff being churned out on ItV

Today's show was upsetting on many levels, the sheer acting of naani, the irresponsibility and abominable behavior of the grown up in the car, the misguided mother, the thoughtlessness of the plot...

There is the aspect of bringing in social issues that you are ill-equipped to handle. I get that this show is not meant for it. Why not just stay clear of them then? Sonal abuse case atleast was better handled in the sense that she walked out. But, the rape and murder attempt, and now underage driving and its implications. Why take up these social issues when you cannot address them with the graveness that it needs. Especially when they are absolutely not needed for the story to proceed.

Then there is the whole shock value that they were attempting, which again was not needed. The scene in the car was God-awful. It was tantamount to watching a murder or a rape. It really shook me up. Maybe it was the mother in me, but it did have the impact that they were gunning for.

And then there is this whole sentimentalizing this and there by trivializing it, which is plain wrong. Not withstanding the lives lost, I already feel for the 14 year old driving the car, who now has to live with the consequences of an action that all of them in the car were equally responsible for.

@Santi, a very apt post. I was just wondering what types of crimes & social issues they have dealt with till now and unabashedly in the worst possible manner ...

1. Dowry

2. Exploitation of participants in reality shows (includes sexual intimidation)

3. Misuse of power, status and money (e.g. bribing, registering false case)

4. Cheating (includes ditching @altar)

5. Theft

6. Emotional Violence

7. Stalking

8. Kidnapping

9. Molestation / Sexual Abuse / (Attempt of) Rape

10. Underage Driving

11. Rash driving

12. Manslaughter (by a juvenile)

I must have missed a few and have purposefully ignored the repeated mockery of medical practices... All of the above are heinous criminal acts. Unfortunately the makers have either swept them under the rug or simply ignored their horrific implications or justified them in the name of love !!!

I am appalled by this continuous unapologetic, unabashed attitudes towards such abominable criminal acts ...

Am just so mad at their level of insensitivity in each and every issue they take up, be it abuse or rape or now accident involving rash driving! I sometime think that they are so thick that they won't understand the gravity of anything until it happens to one of their own. Until then they keep preaching bullshit to the world.
