Since 2 weeks or so the Grand old man of bollywood has been on and off interrupting us to remind of his new interest –to watch few people confined in a house for nearly 3 months. He is excited at prospect of looking at real faces of celebrities behind mask-an ironical thing to say for superstar of the millennium. Where new lads like Ranbir Kapoor are keeping low profile so that people don’t get bore of him, Mr. Bachchan has no such qualms. Perhaps after spending nearly 4 decades in Hindi Film Industry, as he calls it, the seasoned pro certainly knows how to mesmerize his viewers. In a recent interview to an English daily he said he is not afraid of over-exposure. He is passionately involved in every assignment he takes and it is his duty to guide that to success. So no matter whether it is a hair oil, a chocolate co. which was once accused of providing worms for free or cement or designer suitings etc. he is honestly doing his duty. Son of a great poet who was a close friend of Nehru, and having spent his youth when Nehru’s socialist illusions were breaking away, Amitabh Bachchan certainly knows how to create demands.
This time he is for bigg boss 3.
After successfully completing 2 seasons it is back on colors for 3rd one.The whole fixation with this kind of reality shows began when Shilpa participated in Big Brother to resuscitate her dwindling career. There she was made a victim of racism. Billions of Indian felt indignant and sympathized with her; She later got a film. However, Shilpa went on to win that show. All that hoopla created over racism row apart from helping her made Big Brother a household name in India. After 'who wants to be a millionaire', 'American idol' and few others desi version of big brother was inevitable.
Over the years reality shows of this kind have been whetting our voyeuristic appetite. People enjoy watching others in their private moments. 'Sach ka samna' a reality show which recently went off air was another chip off the block. According to the makers and host it was inspired or at least they pretended it to be guided by spirit of 'satymev jayate' – truth alone triumphs, who realized importance of truth in life. They were extremely pious people who decided to work for upliftment of society. They thought once a person decides to accept his guilt in front of millions he becomes chastened and remorse free. It helps him to live better.
Another hypocritical attempt at unravelling truth!
Well, of late contestants too joined the bandwagon and defended their decision to appear at the show. they felt relieved after a great load off their mind was removed. Good for them. But their relief was too much for people to handle and some perished in the process. The questions which had noble purpose of taking guilt of their mind had the unusual proclivity towards their sexual life. The host with all the sobriety of philosophers inquired ladies about their first night. The fact that even when ladies blushed host was pertinacious shows how honest he was to bring them to path of truth. it is amazing to see the publicity 'truth' has got. now a days everyone is mad about truth. lets see what truth Big B has to offer.
