Sach ka Samna

Having desi tv here in US has its own pros and cons...On one hand desi tv has got so many interesting things to enjoy. But that's not where it ends, I have observed this recent increase in REAL life shows.We recently enjoyed Roadies to its fullest. The masti, the competition, those meaningless fights and much more...It was all fun.

If that was not enough , thr was this other show on Mtv: Splits villa !!
One hell of a stupid show with loads of young guys and gals competing to get to the top..This show really got dirty in like 2 episodes and we stopped following.

The other day my friend told me about another addition to this list
"Rakhi ka Swamyamwer:: Yes , yes, this show does precisely what it says.
Rakhi is looking for his Dude and apparently she claims that she is going to marry the winner.Now that's a real classy act.I really do not wish to spare any more time on this show...I do want to confess tho: I definitely want to see one episode !!! dekhe to kis kis level ki harkate hoti hai yaha pe.

Neways its almost as if it was not enough, one more show has come up.
SACH ka Samna...sounds interesting !! Well it sure is.Very Very Interesting.
For those who dont know, its another 21 question-answer session: one who does it all wins a hefty sum.This time around its not the usual "slumdog Millionaire" types.

The contestant is asked about 21 questions during this show. They connect some ultra high tech devices and track his brain waves/bp/ and what now.All this is analysed to see if he or she is speaking truth: The show is "Sach ka Samna" and as you guessed if you tell a lie: you are busted , show ends..its time to go home.
Sounds simple..and yeah interesting to watch ..

BUT....
This show gets real nasty. No kidding.The questions get so personal. I wonder how come these people answer such questions.Even if they are telling the truth , they are putting on line everything they have...the most imp part of life : relations !
Questions range from
: have you ever lied in front of your parents ?
to
: Do you wish to divorce your husband ?

: Do you think your mom dad gave you , your share of love ?
to
: Do you have an affair with your brother in law !

and that level is just an average level of intimacy ! The show claims it gets more intimate as they get closer to the big buck ! now come on man...it cant get any worse.Anyways, for whatever reason people come to this show : I feel its sick.
I had a discussion with Vandita the other day as to why this show is ridiculous.
Yes it gives one opportunity to get out some truths out but hey..is that at the price of your relations ! yeah ...Show producers are milking these naive contestants.
They call in contestant that have peculiar life..very peculiar, Out of the 3 shows we have seen : all the 8/9 contestants have had very hard times in thr lives.
Marriage issues :Divorce / parents split / second marriage/ job issues and what not.
First of all I don't get : y such people show up..you have problems with your life..stay back ..relax , try to sort it out..give it a shot..if it doesn't work let it go.Y do you guys want to contest in such shows and vent out more venom for your "once close" friends/relatives...y !!!Its not going to fetch them any good..yes you stand a chance to win the lumsum prize but at what price...what use is that money if you don't have your loved ones around to enjoy it.. May god help them think and decide what is good for them.

We got really involved while watching few of the shows. This lady was filled with so much negativity in her childhood that all she thinks right now is how sad the world is and how bad people can be to her.We felt bad that Y such people show up on this show..all her family members are sitting in front of the camera(on the show) and tearing apart each others image/relation. I felt really bad today for these people.

I hope we get to see less on the same lines.
