Hits and promises
We can tolerate celebs selling us shampoo sachets but far-fetched dreams? C’mon! Thanks, no thanks. The likes of Rakhi Sawant and Mallika Sherawat have been fooling around with the idea of marriage. They say they’ll marry a commoner but then they never did. And that too on national television. Conclusion: Love and common sense conveniently take the backseat when gimmickry and the resulting TRPs move to the forefront. Remedy: A contract needs to be in place which will stipulate that a celeb seeking a bride/bridegroom among the aam janta not only ends up marrying the contestant (who eventually wins the reality show, obviously) but also stays together with him for at least a year -- no matter what! Not that we’re interested in their marital bliss, just that it’s more likely to ensure there won’t be another benumbing season of this mindless search for soul mates on the tube.
