I am writing this while I am 'actually' watching: ' Saloni - Saat Pheron ka Safar ' . I think Indian television has got it all wrong. They always depict a person in ideal state - be it villain or the hero (being agnostic to the sex). They must come closer to reality. Indian mass is a very confused lot. Generally they never hate or love other person to the extreme. They are always objective. They love or hate people on issues. It's not like a 'saas' thinking all twenty four hours devising a plan to ruin her 'bahu's' married life.
I can't stop myself from hating this particular moment in the serial - Saloni is the most devoted wife on Indian television. She has stood all tests inflicted on her (by her family members - not surprising, huh). The husband is suffering from a deadly physical ailment (say 'brain tumour
or 'blood cancer' - two most abused diseases on Indian television and cinema - Indian kid knows (right or wrong!) that these can't be cured even before it is born.) Now comes the bummer. Saloni announces based on her trust and devotion that she will leave no stone unturned in winning her husband's life back.
I don't know what will be the fate of poor husband. But I definitely hate this extreme. We love reality shows !
Change... I am waiting.
