What TV stars would wish for if they were granted three wishes
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
You have read it in fairy tales. A supernatural entity grants you three wishes. These three wishes completely transform the protagonist's life.
In fairy tales you aren't granted more than three wishes. Why? 'Three' across all cultures in considered to be a magical number with a spiritual significance. Certain religions attribute the holy number 'three' to the Holy Trinity, which may be the reason as to why we attribute that number to wishes too.
In Christianity the Holy Trinity refers to the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. In Hinduism it comprises of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer as the three highest manifestations of the one ultimate reality. The Trinity also refers to the three stages of the pagan Sun God. Also in Muslim fairy tales, the genie grants just three wishes.
Three wishes have been considered to be more than enough for one person. Wishing for the fourth time isn't allowed as the wisher is considered to be greedy. If the wisher asks for a fourth wish in fairy tales, he is often brutally punished for it. All his previous three wishes may be undone when he wishes for the fourth time.
The commonest wishes when one is asked to think of three wishes are for good health, wealth, fame, prosperity, professional success, happiness, success and world peace. When we asked your favourite TV stars as to what they would wish for, they gave answers which included both common and uncommon wishes.
Kratika Sengar who currently stars as Aarti in Punar Vivah said, "I wish for peace, health and wealth." Generally people wish for 'peace' as the third wish. Kratika has however made 'wealth' the third wish, which indicates that this mature lady realises that peace is more important than material comforts.
