April 2 Episode - Dangerous!

I am surprised and shocked by what can be shown on "Prime Time" TV shows in India.

In today's episode, Anaita hires thugs (gundas) and gives them money and Sneha's photograph. She wishes and tells the bad guys to throw acid (what looks like common bathroom tiles-cleaning acid) on Sneha's face in order to make Sneha look ugly (so that Omi will not love her).

I am aware that children (not only in India but all over the world) watch these serials. And therefore, I have questions:


1.What message is Ekta/Balaji sending to young viewers who cannot differentiate between right and wrong?

2. Isn't there a possibility young viewers could learn from these serials and do the same to their enemies in school, etc.? In that case, who will take responsibility?

3. Is there no Broadcasting or Censorship authority in India?


In other countries, adult viewers (including parents) would have complained to Broadcasting or Censorship authorities (instantly) and demanded an apology and also demanded that such scenes or serials be moved out of prime-time to "adult/mature" time (as in after 11:00pm or midnight). And even then, appropriate Parental Guidance or Adult/Mature Viewers Only warnings would have been displayed before the episode starts.

But that does not seem to be the case in India and productions from India. If there is money to be made out of excitement, anyone will do anything in India. And especially, the so-called "Soap Queens" like Ekta will stoop as low as she can, by allowing such scenes in her shows.

I very much pray children are not watching these serials. No matter how exciting, keep your children away from television. Because, instead of all the big-talk about "Sanskar," these serials are just creating criminals out of tender young minds.

Now you think about it. Is it any wonder that India is not a safe country for the women living there? Well, no wonder there then!

Note: I wrote earlier that I am going to stop watching these serials, and I intend to cancel my channel subscriptions. However, since Star Plus has not answered my complain letter, I will watch and collect all disturbing points for my formal complain (this time to the Broadcasting Authority in the country I live - Not India).

Regards,

Observer

I don't think any of it is funny.

If throwing acid on a woman's face looks funny to anyone, or if my stating about such a horrendous fact looks funny, then it is truly time to rethink about morality and ethics.

i agree with u but trust me little kids in india dont watch these shows whenever i have gone to india i have never seen kids watching these shows its on too late for them and some parents just dont let them watch it

but anways i think the acid thing comes on even in cartoons such as roadrunner its just done in a comedic way to make it more acceptable so its the parents responsibility to tell the kids from right or wrong

i do believe that their should be more censorship but that is only going to work to a certian extent too

Thanks Rupi.

I am glad to know that most kids or young children don't watch these serials in India.

However, Ekta/Balaji can at least put a warning before the episode. That would be much better.

And even in cartoons or anywhere, disfiguring a woman's (or even man's) face is not an act of bravery or even means of any sort of revenge.

Thanks again.
