There is a big hue and cry these days regarding the show ‘Sach ka Saamnaa’ and I would like to add my opinion on it. The show is hosted by Rajeev Khandelwal who was off from the camera after his last success film ‘Aamir’. The talk show reveals personal truths of individuals for the sake of money. Besides it even tells some ‘typical truths’ that would surely not be digested by many in India.

We certainly have run out of issues to cry rough over from podiums. It seems that the media fraternity as a whole have lost their morals to the deadly TRPs and advertisements to get it going in the rat race and have an instant fame. I really wonder how a mom would be able to love her daughter who had planned to kill her for money or a woman would be asked to stay all through with a husband who had cheated her.

I feel that after knowing these ‘truths’, they have invited an earthquake in their life and have made fun of their relationship. The participants of the show surely must have gone through various hardships and trials of life but I found it ridiculous to make it public just for money. Besides, with the reality show like this he has definitely reduced the number of his Rajeev Khandelwal’s fans.

The show is under the scrutiny of many media channels (they have something to play it across 24 *7) and the bureaucrats on the grounds of ‘hampering Indian morals’, yet I feel that there could have been some better way to showcase our own hypocrisy. The motive of the show seems instant fame by glorifying an individual’s personal life.

On the other hand there are talk shows like ‘Zindagi Live’ on IBN7 that talks about real life stories of everyday people. Though it deals with the similar topics yet there is a sense of beauty in it that motivates individuals to take a lesson from their life. It is a testimony of their life which encourages an individual to ‘Move on’ in life no matter what comes their way.

Some things are best said when not spoken. Be it a relation with your friend or your parents or anyone on this earth, the unspoken mode of communication is the one that works wonders. Maybe this is the reason that when we are stressed or exhausted, we find a great deal of relief with our pet or teddy; the one who can hear us patiently without giving us a bag full of solutions.

This doesn’t mean that I am against communication of words, yet taking the old traditions- I personally would prefer to keep a mum on some things, especially when it is about my personal life. Obviously, going by the meaning of personal, it necessarily means something that pertains to an individual or each of many individuals.

India as a country is still not ready for such bold show formats and there is something where we should boast of our culture instead of copying formats from the West. There is a need to maintain the much acknowledged ‘timid Indian culture’ worldwide.
