Why would a mother do this?
What kind of an abysmal show is Pati Patni Aur woh? What the hell is NDTV imagine out to achieve? Why are TV shows getting so regressive? And the MOST important question- What in God’s name were the parents thinking? How the hell could a mother give away her baby, and for heaven’s sakes, a BABY, to these so called stars, or for that matter, any darned stranger?
I am so appalled at the very format of this show. Are you watching this crap? Will you turn off the TV, please?
Besides, why would an audience want to watch real time couples going about their lives? What’s so darned interesting about that? Haven’t you enough to deal with in your daily lives, yourselves? Don’t you have children to play with, a partner to have a conversation with, friends to hang out with, books to read, chores to complete, parents to spend time with, star gaze, read stories to your toddler, music to listen to…? Why would you want to waste your time watching such utterly harebrained shows? Don’t you think there is so much more to life than revolting television shows, that creates enough and more hungama in our otherwise normal lives?
I hear there have been protests against this show to go off air. And i read here that the show won’t go off air until it gets a Government notice( Gayi bhayns paani mein) .What I don’t understand is, how did this even go ON AIR. By the sound of it, itself, it sounds illegal, then how on earth did this manage to get aired. And to my horror, I see people enjoying these shows. Imagine the impression it can have on young minds!
Sometimes I think, media and broadcasting should be completely Govt’s prerogative. I know, I know… but see what happens with privatization.
I am totally dismayed…and this is such a sad thing.

The clips I saw showed a baby crying incessantly and Rakhi sawant and that guy was trying to feed the baby. Some babies even dont go to strangers at the very first time, and here this little sweet living being is going through all these without being realizing the parents are doing this for money and probably stardom. I was feeling so disgusted hearing those crying sounds, I just switched off my TV.I wonder when these kids will grow up and see this, will they ever forgive their parents?
What are these people trying to acheive.. Then I saw another girl struggling with diapers... for heavens sake... Do other young mothers go to 'Be a Mommy School' to learn to change diapers??? I was shocked... Do these people have not younger bros or sis... who they ever looked after...
Thank God its going off air... India is taking these reality shows to a new extreme!!! I am disgusted!!
oh well - thats what I thought of Rakhi ka Swayamvar too - but I knew a few people who were glued to that show *sigh*
NDTV, Imagine!!!
@pat: babe, precisely my point too. that mother who was crying..what was she trying to prove..that she has a heart too? such irresponsible idiots.
@debanjana: Intelligence levels and tolerance levels too.
@discovering m: oh yeah, we undermine a lot of things. swayamvar was a HUGE hit. and now this. TV is just feeding the devil in us.
@psych babbler: am glad u havent caught a gglimpse of it yet. not one cent worth your precious time. you'll lose your semblance of mind, I tell you, gal. Stay away and keep your cool :).
@scribbler: i HATE television. reality, fiction whatever. Unless its a movie, i don't watch telly. I know there are a lot of good stuff too, but I just can't buy TV any more. The only thing i watch is news. And now u say aussie tv too telecasts such trash..so its a universal phenomenon then. And i wont be surprised if the indian version is a lift.
This was so shocking, I can't imagine what kind of people watch this, what kind of people make it, and more than anybody else, what kind of parents allow their babies to be treated so cruelly...
I couldn't stand to watch it for long. How can parents do this? All for money? How greedy are people? Would they even sell their children for money?
Even though there was some notice issued, the channel of course got the approval so the show will go on.
I just wish social service in India is strong enough to sue those parents and take the baby away. Down with such stupid shows in the name of reality. There is always Swayamvar and Bigg Boss for people to enjoy. Why torturing poor babies?
