Last month I happen to see (my complete bad luck) a few programs on Colors and Star Plus courtesy my mom and mom in law and I was zapped to see that almost all (infact all) programs in some way related to how a father/uncle/grandfather/kaka is struggling hard to marry his daughter and how the bahu after the marriage is struggling hard to save her marriage inspite of violence/drunkard husband/insanity/fraud? and I thought boss in today's modern India how can these programs be commissioned by television producers? Don't they know the modern and urban india??
But then I looked at a news clipping - Dhania Mirza is engaged to Dekh (Sho) Ab Malik. Dekh Ab Malik's supposedly first wife has filed a law suit against him and wants a divorce. Hair Thackarey has issued a statement condemning the marriage and so on..... On the sidelines of this PCB has banned Malik for one year and his career is at an all time low. There a number of accusations of match fixing against him (even for domestic matches...who will fix up a domestic match??) Malik has denied all these accusations and has said that he married some other gurl looking at some photo and marriage is illegal and so on....
Now we are talking about a girl here who is one of the most renowned sports personalities in India, a youth icon and has a great future ahead (if not in tennis then in other avenues) belonging to one of the more reputed families in Hyderabad and her father is desperately looking to marry her off so that she can have a settled life?? A famous cricketer from the same country as Malik commented that "No sensible gurl in our country would marry a person in so many controversies and having such an uncertain future" Then the question is why our Indian father is so desperate for the alliance and why Dhania is vehemently supporting her future hubby..??
May be the Colorss, Star Pluses and Imagines understand urban indian father and urban indian gurl more than me....!
