“YE ZAROOR USKI SAAJISH HOGI… MAI BHI SABAKH SIKHA KE HE
RAHUNGI!”
“TUM NIKAL JAO GHAR SE BAAHAR! MAINE KYA SOCHA THA AUR
TUM KYA NIKLI?!”
After reading these lines, what was it that came in
your head???
DAILY
SOAPS!
Right? J
Time has flown but it seems like producers and directors
like Ekta Kapoor etc refuse to move with time. Their serials are still struck
in the era where women were loaded with jewels, stuck in the kitchen, unaware
of the outside world and if they knew anything apart from cooking… it was
BITCHING AND GOSSIPING and the men, happily getting involved in extra marital
affairs.
The mother-in-law is generally portrayed as either very
cruel, who would tear the soul out of the daughter-in-law’s body or as very
timid where the daughter-in-law would make her do the work. I mean, come on guys…grow
up!
This is not what society is really like. There may be
some % of people who still fall in this category but the majority is way civilized.
Electronic media should be used to portray the reality and not to pollute the
society. There is hardly any serial which must have not shown an EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIR! They show it as
if it is rampant in the society. It is like exaggerating the truth. Then it no
more remains the truth.
On the other hand, there were some serials which started
off for addressing a particular issue like female infanticide or child marriage
but after a few months they too loose their track and no more address the cause
they had started off for.
E.g.: serials like LAADO, BALIKA VADHU were interesting
and depicted hard core reality but then again they too have lost their track
and only the producer can tell what story is going on.
I have seriously lost the interest in watching television
now. It either has REALITY SHOWS
that are nowhere close to reality or DAILY
SOAPS which exaggerate the reality!
Aren’t you guys facing the same problem??? Tell me.
I Don't have a Television and its been a year and a half for me that i have watched television....
ReplyDeletedats nice :) but its not like you have never enjoyed seeing serials! and if not serials... atleast reality shows toh dekhte he honge...like roadies, splitsville!
DeleteNopes dear never for an instance by mistake i may have watched some part of these so called reality shows but in regular or by own will i have never seen them
Deleteoh that's impressive and really good. :)and anyways these reality shows only portray crap!
Deletehmm......interesting but at the end of the day ....the people are watching them...TRPs are high for such serials encouraging people like Ekta Kapoor to make such frustrating unreal shows...that means people are watching them and also loving them...thats the truth and the fact that majority of the population of such serial watchers are married women .....
ReplyDeleteTV is anyway an idiot box airing even more idiotic stuff ....unhealthy for our brains and overall well being.
exactly yusra :)
Deletewe need to realise that t.v. was invented for us. we are not made for T.V. ! haina??
nxt gen is watching serials by downloading from torrent and wat govt has done is blocked it and helped indian television to come up with more soaps n reality ..... nothing can change in this country ....

Deletenice , but television is need to life now a days
ReplyDeleteyes. but we should know what to use the t.v. for. watching melodrama...ans saas bahu stuff will only give head ache!
DeleteThat is entirely ur wish what you want to watch.
ReplyDeleteIt is not just that the TV shows rubbish saas bahu serials.
It also shows meaningful, life saving programs. for eg. satyameva jayate, man vs wild- most of the people think that it is the most disgusting program but once just try to think how many have lost their lives becoz they didnt knew what to do when they are lost in a forest,but in last few months people have actually thanked Bear Grylls becoz of him they survived where others have lost their lives, hopes.
No one has a gun pointed to your head, that you should only watch this or that. Ekta Kapoor will continue making such daily soaps. Belive me she is one of the most smartest womens. She knows it dosen't matter how rubbish, disgusting her daily soaps are but she knows what indian society wants(not only women but men also). You cannot blame her for showing this kind of daily soaps, she is doing this only becoz our society wants to watch it, admire it.
"watching melodrama...and saas bahu stuff will only give head ache"!. The remote is in your hand. Even if you are criticising it that means you are talking about it, promoting it unintationally. Only awareness can get society back on track, only we can make a Television back from idiot box to a box which can spread awareness, who can teach good things, who can give people the best medicine- Laughter, etc.
Stop cribing start making intelligent choices and Enjoy!
Opposite Values are Complimentatery.
oho... that's impressive adi! :) ofcourse, the choice is always in our hands whether to watch a programe or not. and there are many types of programs that go on air which are way meaningful than these soap operas.
Deletealso...by criticising it, i am also spreading awareness and not just promoting it! :P
by the way, MAN V/S WILD is my favourite programe! :D
