I am starting this new topic as I had asked this question in another thread but there were no replies and I dont think it was noticed. Hence starting a new topic.
I last weeks episode, there was this huge drama about Sara not wanting to sing, the reason she gave was that many people back home (in pakistan) are not happy about her singing (being a girl i suppose) on the stage and there are lot of things which are being said and written about her. All this negative talk and attempts to put the girl in her right place seems to have got to her mentally and she is not able to sing. Hence she was withdrawing from the competition.
What I want to ask other members (specially those who are from Pakistan), is this true and to what extent ? I mean is there a huge hue and cry out there because she is singing and it is seen as a negative. Are they having articles in newspapers which are objecting to it or are there any news channels which have taken out stories. In general what is the mood there about her singing here ? Is it seen in bad light with many people objecting. If so, then what is the extent ?
I am very curious to know. I dont feel that what she is saying (or being made to say) is true. I mean yes there could be a voice or two but nothing which suggests that a lot of people are against it. Frankly speaking what ever is going on in both countries, I dont think people even have the time to think about such trivial topics with such larger National interest topics on hand. It seems only a figment of her imagination (or someone else) that she has become so popular overnight that people are bothered about her.
If what I feel is true i.e. there is nothing like that and She (or Zee Team) is playing this card to garner votes/trp, then it is pathetic and they should be careful. It is a question of the image of a nation. This show is going to so many countries and if other people see this and take it on face value then they may have views about the people of a nation which may be far from truth. I am not able to elaborate more on this because I dont want the topic to move away from the core question, but I hope you guys understand what I mean.
If not true, then some NGO or Govt organisation from Pakistan should sue Zee TV.
Would like your views on this. Also I would request member to stick to the topic and discuss in a calm manner. And please do not take offence to what I have written, intentions are not to upset anyone.
