DNA: No childs play -- Parichay

Its a wonderful concept that they are picking up n highlighting. Reality is shown in a good wat but showing a woman striking deals to save her husband kids is some thing which sounds absurd where the society gives her a name of mistress n characterless no mater what just for the drama quotient no one has got right to show women so cheap n men playing with their emotions

Thanks for the article.

Mature love stories, divorces, remarriages ' the small-screen has been dealing

with all these hitherto taboo topics for the

last two years. The latest issue to catch

the fancy of makers is the battle for child

custody between warring partners. Punar

Vivaah on Zee has protagonist Aarti's ex-husband

Prashant fighting for the

custody of his son Ansh.

In Bade Acche Laggte Hai

(Sony), Ram and Priya are having a tug-ofwar over who will take care of their daughter Pihu and in Parichay, Siddhi and Abhay

have been at loggerheads over the custody

of their twin boys.

Prashant Bhatt, weekday programming

Head, Colors says that it's a reflection of

the real world. "It's not just the theme of

child custody gaining importance on television, this is happening all around us. TV is

only a medium to relay the story. We are trying to highlight real life situations through

our shows like Parichay. There are many

homes where parents have separated and

are fighting for custody of their children.

We want to highlight the state of the child

trapped between feuding adults. Viewers connect easily with children and that

helps build context." Sumeet Mittal who is

producing Punar Vivaah and has just shot

a melodramatic court scene avers, "We

are dealing with a socially relevant subject

where this kind of marital disharmony is

common, specially if a child is involved

in a broken marriage. We are trying

to convey a message that children's

emotional stability is most important and they must not be traumatised."

Pyschologist Seema Hingoranny is all for television creating

awareness about sensitive issues.

"The medium is picking up what I call lifestyle issues that audiences can relate to. It

is good to the point of raising awareness

but in most cases it becomes melodramatic.

The negativity and mud-slinging between

the protagonists can send a wrong message

because viewers look at them as role models," she warns.

However, Vivek Bahl, Chief Creative Director, Sony, assures that while the aim is

to reflect society, "the effort is to underline

hope, learning and positivity through the

same." We hope so too!

You have got to be freaking kidding me!!! REAL WORLD? REAL LIFE SITUATIONS? Please excuse me while I go and find a dictionary for the programming head of Colors so he can look up the definition of the word REAL. Parichay is just miles and miles away from reality. The show exists in some parallel universe where during a custody battle, underage children get to stand in the witness box and tell the whole world about their parents love life and then go onto outsmart all the lawyers present in court by simply having read a random law book.

Wow...What a REAL portrayal of courts, custody battles, lawyers, and judges that was...👏

Definitely agree with what the psychologist said about things becoming excessively melodramatic but honestly, our standards for 'role models' must be very low if we are looking to find them in hindi television serials..😳
