And yes as u ppl might have guessed the reporter spoke completely against SKS, it's concept, it's participants, it's questions and of course it's HOST
Can't give a complete report but will pose certain questions that was asked by the reporter and also some doubts that are arising in my mind
1) A film like KANK was apposed in India for a simple fact that the wife left her husband for no big reason and the very very famous and influential people like Karan Johar and SRK were teared into pieces by audience and media people, then was Mr.Basu sure that SKS would be accepted with open minds?
2)SKS is aired on a Television channel which has a huge viewership and can parents stop their children from watching it? It's time slot of 10:30 is to make sure that it's aired at a time when all kids would be asleep, then what about the repeat telecast?
3) Today or tomorrow will be "The Big Fight", where people in scrutiny will be scared to answer not just the experts panel but also the reporter Barkha Dutt. Those experts would have 1000 reasons against SKS, while Rajeev and Basu might have no more than two reasons: Social responsibility and Money. Let these people agree that it's a game show where people play for mony, the only difference being that here we don't have General Knowledge and Current Affairs questions but questions on their personal life.
If it's not so then why would a man like Mr.Hussain would cum to this show when his knows what odd life he has lived? It was evident he needed money or a moment of fame!!
4)If U were in the place of Mr.Basu or Rajeev, what justifications would U place in front of UR audience? We all at some corner of our mind know that India has not matured enough to accept a show like this!! Yesterday's episode was interesting but almost every question had one thing in common :s**
A noble attempt like Balika Vadhu is been questioned blming it as preecing things which are against the society and do U think SKS will be accepted?
5)Me, myself never bothered to chk on net about MOT and whether it was accepted or not in other countries. I was not even aware that it was banned in countries which owns far far matured people than Indians. Didn't Rajeev ever feel like taking a feedback about the show, bcoz I'm really scared that this show will make him pay loads in more than one ways. His imsge, his career, his self esteem and what not!!!!
Rajevians, plz don't misunderstand me of constantly criticising SKS and Rajeev, but a show like this is bound to criticism, discussions and debates and I'm no dushman of Rajeev, all I need is his well being and I suppose we all are or have matured enough to judge and understand the pros and cons of a show!!
