One of my very close friends recently asked me to pen down my views on the latest of “Rakhi ka Swayamwar”. She asked me what my take was on this show. So here it is! I could barely follow it beyond a few episodes due to the extremity of the forged and bogus drama created on it. However, to each his own.
Rakhi Sawant certainly wouldn’t have imagine all extra stuff that came to her with this show- A posh necklace ( worth some odd 30 Lakhs ,designed by Farah Ali Khan), a traditional wedding attire designed by acclaimed designer Neeta Lulla, a much talked about “swayamvar” on national TV and a majestic marriage ceremony to be viewed by billions . The “ex -item girl”, who has seen a rags-to-riches kind of a personal life and career, will tie a knot with the ‘chosen one’, very soon. She will select her Mr. Right from among nine contenders (groom-to-be) who have traveled from cities like Mumbai, New Delhi, Kanpur Rishikesh and Jaipur and even from ‘saat samundar paar’ (across the seven seas) places like Toronto.
Apparently, Rakhi believes that she is a refined, traditional and sophisticated ‘susheel grihani’ kinda woman with a reverence for Indian customs and values .She feels it is high time when she got a life partner and settled in the bliss of domestic life and family bonding. An excellent idea! What I do not comprehend however, is the requirement for a reality show to transform this idea into actuality.
I solicit,” Do you actually feel your marriage should be portrayed to be nothing more than a source of amusement for so many viewers? Do you actually feel you could discover a companion by making him perform various tasks (read drama) on national TV? Do you actually feel the audience really care for your wedding more than any other reality show? Do you actually feel that you will be content doing this? ”
Well, I recently heard that Rakhi Sawant has definitely put her tiny feet in her full-size mouth with this show. Grapevine has it that, an acclaimed news channel carried out a sting operation on one of the contending groom of the show. The man was already married with 3 children! What’s more appalling is that he alleges that everybody including the channel producers were aware of this. He was deliberately requested to enter as a contestant so that it can be ‘exposed’ later in the show so as to create the much desired drama that all wait for. Phew!
Rakhi Sawant is undeniably keen on finding her Mr. Right. Nonetheless, I cannot ponder on a rationale for a reality show for that. For the type of being she is, I completely comprehend that Rakhi Sawant cares two hoots about what people think.
“Aisa pati chahiye mujhe, jisme ‘day-ring’ ho, ‘intul-igent’ ho, thoda sa dance wance to aana chahiye,aada teda bhi chalega. Paise waala ho na ho, dildaar zarur ho.Waise paise waala ho bhi to bhi kya harz hai? Rakhi ka pati banna koi asaan nahin hai.” – You bet! We agree Rakhi.
O Jee-Juss!

Trust me, I could barely watch it beyond the 3rd episode. With all that tattoing Rakhi's name on the groom's hand, married men wooing her, maa-in laws wooing Rakhi too, is way too dramatic for my sensibilities!
