Indian
television has failed us time and again. Those numerous shows telecasted have
disrespected women everytime they have characterized her nothing less than some
venomous snake, they have disrespected the family values everytime they have
celebrated rifts in relationships, while portraying marriages in peculiar ways
where they make a person marry atleast thrice, they have made jokes of our
customs, the medical theories were mocked everytime the plastic surgery had not
only changed face but the entire appearance of the person. The Extravagant set
ups, lavish houses, costly attires was all that was showed to us in the name of
entertainment that accompanied those foolish scripts. The Indian television hit
the lowest when a soap was broadcasted that depicted love between a kid and a
woman where every now and then the kid was found drooling his eyes over a
beautiful lady trying to seduce her in an way or the other. Thanks, to the
uproar in the social media that finally led to the closure of such a bizarre show
that imparted nothing but vulgarity.
In this
article I won’t be talking about hundreds of such shows in the past (many of
them are still running) that propagated nothing but stupidity and did nothing
in enriching Indian brains.
Here I want
to talk about a current show that I find stupid from all aspects. And I feel pity for those who are watching this show daily without a miss. I said I feel pity for the audience; I didn’t call them stupid for watching such a show
because they are not left with enough options to choose from. In the name of
entertainment they have always been served stupidity.
Anyways,
everything was going fine till I came to know that Dhinchak Pooja have entered
the house. This is a new low in the already crippled Indian television.
Now I can
imagine the future endeavors to be achieved by this lady. She will stay in the
house, participate in the tasks, get votes from audience (as I said people have
no other option), she may win the show or she may not, then few months later we
will find her in some other show, then few more shows and she will acclaimed as
a television star. Then she will be giving interviews on national channels and
print media about her struggle, passion for music, determination to learn and
create good music and then her enchanting journey in the industry. She will be
preaching viewers to work hard citing examples from her life, the hurdles that
stood on her way and how she jumped over them bravely, the trolls that she
faced and how she kept herself strong enough to ignore them and concentrated in
her good work and produced some soulful tracks. She will make millions of
followers and who knows some magazine or agency may nominate her as the, “women
of the decade” in the near future.
These
speculations are possible. Aren’t they? In India everything is possible.
Actually we make them possible. And we can’t even blame Dhinchak Pooja for all
this. After all it is we who turned the complete crap into a viral sensation
overnight. Now she has all the rights over this popularity. She proved that anyone
without potential, talent and credentials can rise to this position. And our
trolls and attention helps them achieve this.
Come on, if
RG can claim the PM chair, Gurmehar kaur is declared the next Gen leader, Judwaa
2 can be the second highest grosser of this year, then we have no right to
question Indian Television and Dhinchak Pooja. Do we have?
I think we
should ask ourselves this question.
Have we
grown up as audience? Have we ever valued the real talents?
Everytime we
clap at those mindless scripts and share stupid videos just for fun, we
actually murder real talents and prove that we deserve such stupid shows.
P.S. All the
points made here are my personal opinion. You may have differences with me in
some points. But believe me, I DON’T CARE. Thank you.
