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?KANK received enormous criticism inspite of SRK's presence.But in SKS i dont think the anchor or the participants are asking people to get into illicit relations but they are just baring the truth about their lives and in most cases if the audience has noticed the family is well aware of it. No one was forced to participate in the show they did it themselves so they are just as much to blame as the producer.
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?The times of india has supplements in every city which just talks about a celebrities personal life ,affairs etc etc.....there are numerous magazines that are devoted to reporting on the private lifes of celeb....who s dating whom...who broke whose heart...who is cheating on his wife etc etc..My question.....Why till date have we not questioned the existence of such papers and magazines? If watching sach ka samna spoils children ..such reports help them progress is it?....The same news channels which hold such debates leave no stone unturned in reporting affairs and illicit relations to gain viewership....All i can say is its sheer 'Hypocracy'.
If we are so concerned about the future of children then the media needs to get a little more responsible to start off with. If there is the problem of stopping children from watching tv in that slot then we should just be as concerned about hiding newspapers and magazines from the little ones and what more i dont think SKS is the only show which poses danger to society...what happened to the media when big boss was airing when people openly spoke about affairs...degraded their family and what not.....what happened to these debates when contestants openly abuse each other in the worst possible languages in rodies? are these not harmful to children?
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!!I dont think Rajeev is answerable to such debates and questions in the first place...People need to understand that he is doing what he is told and getting paid for it..Its his profession
Well. the format of SKS is such that it will always call for debate....but what surprises me is that Rajeev is being blamed...If people have a problem with the show or its format..then Rajeev should be the last person to be blamed. Neither did he introduce the concept of the show nor he is producing it...neither did he selct the participants nor did he select the questions ....so he should actually be the last person to be blamed.
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?Personally i do not feel the indian society is bold enough to face such sensitive questions. In america itself it lead to a lot of divorces and heartbreaks and indians are any time more emotional but if the participants have no problem then no one else should either.
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!!!!Rajeev is not one of the best host s of indian television but he is doing a decent job in SKS. Forgetting about these debates for a while i dont think 99% people feel he is responsible for the show. Yes but i do agree that he could have selected a better show to mark his comeback on tv. But he is Rajeev and never will do conventional stuff. I dont think there has been a single show of his which has been spared a debate on IF...😆On a serious note...I know Rajeev is not as big a name as SRK but SRK did not really suffer cause of KANK nor did Karan Joha..people have a short memory ..so personall i dont think i will harm his career or anything.
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!!Come on Ranju by now people know you well enough .
hmm..SKS is a shows which will surely come with appreciation & criticism as well.. & this was expected..& people who don't like it, it is a simple point kii woh log baat ka bhatangad banane ke liye ready rahenge... & they should understand one thing Rajeev ko criticize karne se koi fayada nahii he is just a professional joh apna kaam karr raha hai..& his work is to host the show joh woh karr raha hai.. in todays world people are changing they accept the truth whatever it is.. take one instance i discuss the show & the questions with my parents & they are open about it....it is simple that the participants want to come & tell their share of truth it is their choice..all the show & the host are doing is to give them a chance.. the participants come there knowing all the questions. it is not like the participants directly come on the stage & answer the questions.. they already know them & they are given time to think if they want to take part in SKS or not.. there is no point blaming Rajeev or even their is no point blaming the production house or the channel... it is the participants will whether he/she want to participate in it.. let us consider a point when first the show was announced & the participants all by themselves registered themselves for the show.. agar participants saamne nahii aathe to participate tho kabhi show aatha hii nahi & the channel & the production house would have scrapped the show as the show has no participants.. lekin yahaan people are coming forward to participate in the show...how can some channel start a debate over this... show nikaal na production house aur channel ka kaam hai, host karna Rajeev ka kaam hai, aur contestant ke marzi nahii hothi tho woh kabhi participate nahii kartha...& people who are debating kii this show is not good, it is simple if someone does not like something they should stay away from it..some people don't like SKS it is their opinion but they don't have right to oppose the show..there are people who are interested in the show..today these people are creating so much of scene because the show is on a Indian Channel, Moment Of Truth aired on Star World & many of Asian people have seen it & they also like it... just because the show is airing on a Indian Channel so much of scene is being created, wahii agar SKS Star World par air hotha tho itni baat agge nahii badhthi...jabki tab bhii the same people would see it.... ranju now coming to my answers on the points you have mentioned..
I completly agree with you suri....hamare yaha jo log camere ke samne dikhte hai ungli usi pe uthate hai.....isi liye sabse pehli ungli to RAJ pe hi uthne wali hai......sahi kaha tumne suri....raj pe ungli utane se koi faiyda nahi kyunki show ki sab jimedari Sid Basu ke haath me hai....i agree with u...i dont have any problem watching this show with my family and friends....you know what....hum log mane ya na mane lekin yeh sabhi ke ghar ki baat hai.....the show talks about S** but than who doesnt have in their life.....some are behind closed doors and some are open.....aur yeh sab aaj kal ki baat nahi....agar hume sunne me itni problem ho rahi hai to iska matlab hume dekhne me bhi problem honi chahiye........yahi sab log paise deke movie bhi dekhna chahte hai.....yaha pe koi insaan aake apne zindagi ke sach batake kuch paise banane chahta hai to hume kyun aitraaz hai....waise to hamare purane ved me likha hai ki hamesha sach bolna chahiye ...chahe woh kitna bhi kadva hai to kyun nahi bolne dete yeh......agar hum sach nahi bol sakte to hume bhi sataymev jayte ka nare lagana chod dena chahiye.........aur yeh hum bhi jante hai ki hamari younger generation kaisi hai.....i dont think ki aisa koi bhi college person hoga jo net pe aisi web pe nahi gaya hoga.....aur mera manna hai jo log yeh debate karke show ko bandh karna chahte hai woh hi log darr rahe hai ki kahi unka sach bahar na nikal jaye......as a director SID is doing great job bringing a new concept in INDIA.....and Raj ...i must say one of the best host ever on tv who is so comfortable and serious about particiate;s emotions.....i think this is the start of new indian television.....
Personally, I love KANK....no offence to anyone but i loved the new concept.....agar kal muje pata chale ki mera pati muje dhoka de raha hai to ...no way main use kabhi maff nahi karungi lekin at same time main hi use waha jane ko kahungi jaha uska mann kar raha hai....waise hi SKS ...agar kisi ka mann kar raha hai ki sach ko bolke uske dil ko rahat milti hai to main bhi us insaan ke saath line me khadi rahungi.....agar muje kaha jaye to i have no problem opening my life infront of media.....i think ki jab bhi koi kuch naya karta hai to woh apne uper ek risk leta hai aur yahi risk basu aur Raj ne liya hai....aur mere khayal se risk lena bhi ek bahaduri ka kaam hai to hume apne muh bandh karke unki himmat ki dat deni chahiye......
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?
Well in todays world i think most of the parents are open to their children, i can tell you this as I discuss the questions with my parents & I also see the repeat telecast with them, they don't mind watching the show nor they restrict me as they know i'am not a kid anymore..agar yeh show Star World pe bhii aatha tho people would have seen it & children tend to see when there parents see, this is in case of kids who are younger than 15.. & one more thing kids who are from the Asian origin who have been born & brought up abroad know much more than what we know, I know this as i have seen my Nephew & Niece, they are just 8 & 12 & they are exposed to the life so much that they know almost everything..I don't see it in the wrong sense & if children are too young then it is parents duty to keep them away from it.. as the channel is only doing it's job...
Let me tell you one thing...today even 6 to 7 years old kids know about S**.....no offence to anyone...but if your kids have seen movies like murder ..chocolate...jism...than you should know ki yeh to achcha hai ki kamse kam apne bache sach bolna to shikhenge.....and one more thing....aaj kal ke bache humse bahot kuch jyada jante hai.....kya 8th std me science ki kitab me nahi pada aapne...to phir.....hum kyun bhul rahe hai ki yeh koi naya nahi.....agar aapko apne bache ki itni hi fikar hai to phir use TV ke samne hi nahi bitana chahiye......
First...raj ne man liya hai ki woh kabhi apni personal life ko public ke samne nahi kholega kyunki woh ek celebrity hai....to phir kyun bar bar aap Host ko participate karne pe majubur kar rahe hai.....I agree with you suri....jab koi rape ki khabar hoti hi to front page pe bade akhar me news hoti hai ki usne kis jagah pe haath dala kaise dala....to kya hum sab woh padhna chod dete hai....jee nahi...hum pure paper me se sabse pehle wahi khabar padenge...kyunki yeh human nature hai.......jo log sach kehne se darte nahi woh participate hone se bhi nahi darte....aur uska sabse bada example hai SMITA.....i salute her for her bravery.....yakeen mano kahi na kahi yeh sare khayal hum sabhi ke mann me aate hai....jab hum koi film dekhte hai to ek pal ke liye hume bhi kahayl aata hai ki kash main bhi ghar se bhag ke zindagi ko enjoy karu ya to chup chup ke bahar dance club me jau....to waise hi Smita ke mann me bhi kuch feelings huyi.....aur rahi baat yusuf ki i agree ki uska character bahot low hai lekin jitna uska character low hai uski himmat utni hi badi....koi aasan nahi hota apni beti ke samne apni bhul ko kabool karna....khas karke jab 100 karod log aapko dekhte hai.....aur woh log kuch jitke to nahi gaye lekin ek title leke gaye ki woh log himmat rakhte hai sach bolne ki....aur mere liye yeh paise se bhi badhkar hai.......
sabse pehli baat audience milti hai tabhi to show banta hai....particiapte aate hai tabhi show banta hai....agar aaj hum india me sadko pe yeh sawaal karnge to 100 me se 90 log yeh show ko dekhna chahte hai.....ek taraf hum INDIA ko bold nazar ki trah dekhte hai....bollywood hai jo hollywood ban raha hai.........mumbai hai jo new york ban raha hai........indians hai jo westen ban rahe hai.....to phir kyun hume yeh sab bolne aur sunne me koi problem ho rahi hai.....i am sorry to say but i am in college and i studied my one class on S** as it was require for my nursing and bio major......i have no shame on that bcoz trust me we all are one creatute that wants the plesure in our life........so if we accpete that we all are agree for s** than we should accepte this show with broad mind....aur show ki publicity buri ho ya achchi it will always makes Host ke career ko lime light me lata hai.....isi tarah Raj is shining this days....aur jis tarah se woh debate ko handle kar raha hai woh bahot hi mature aur professional ki tarah handle karr raha hai......
I totally agree with you suri.....sab log Raj pe ungli utake bol rahe hai kyunki woh is industry me naya hai....TV wale unpe ungli utha rahe hai kyunki woh log Raj ki kamyabi se jalte hai.....Raj ko bahot si kamyabi mili hai.....aur agar aap Raj ki facebook pe jaoge to pata chalega ki waha pe kitne sare uske fans au dost hai jo her roz uski tarif karte hai show ko leke.....aur waha pe Raj apne dil ki baat bhi karta hai ki woh negative aur postivie dono hi feedback sunna chahta hai......aur is show se Raj ke career per koi burai nahi aa sakti kyunki Raj sirf apna kaam kar raaha hai jiske liye use paise milte hai publicity milti hai.....i think Raj was the only person who had gutts to take this challenge and we should be proud on RAJ.....
SKS is a show bound to discussion & debate but all i'll say is if you dare to do it then dare to accept it.. these are my views no offense to anybody
SKS jaise show ke bad debate ka hona bahot zaroori tha kyunki usse yeh pata chal jata hai ki kaun kaun se log apni galti ko chupana chahte hai.....agar sach dekhne ki himmat karte ho to sach sunne ke liye bhi taiyaar rehna chahiye kyunki kal SMITA ya YUSUF ki jaha humme se koi ek ho sakta hai.......i am so thankful to SKS to bring a new bold concept to INDIA.....this is just me...so i m sorry if i hurt anyone...no offense..........

I was wondering when this kind of debate would start...and i must confess it started sooner than i expected.....My replies are in black.
