CELEBRITY SWAYAM-WARS!

Love marriage or arranged? Or love cum arranged. The discussion can go on for hours (for days if there are more women in the discussion) and yet people will stick to their personal opinions. In the recent past, I have noticed that the celebrities have been involved in certain Swayamvars which have turned out to be Swayam-Wars. Here are a few of my case studies-

CASE STUDY 1- RAKHI KA SWAYAM-WAR

“I simply hate that Rakhi Sawant! Such a witch! I mean how can anybody watch her shows? I thought NDTV Imagine was a good entertainment channel! But why did they do this? I mean why Rakhi? Why is Indian media so fond of that #$#@$%#%^!,” Tina said.

She was a new employee in my previous office. It was lunch time, we had ordered from Dominos and her conversation was no less than chilly flakes.

I mean Rakhi Sawant is a topic which one would never like to come up with! But is it possible that a breakfast, lunch, dinner is complete without talking about her, especially when her serial Rakhi Ka Swayamvar has become the talk of the town? Never.

I thought Tina was one of those sensible girls who would never again speak of Rakhi Sawant, not about her shows at least! I was sick and tired of the female section who pretended to be equally sick and tired of her, but..but the whole day, they discussed nothing but Rakhi Sawant! Tina’s anti-Rakhi statement gave me some relief, she was a new joinee and I was happy to see we were not hiring defects!

“But you know Suyash, I think they will definitely get Mika to the show! Wow! It would be such fun to watch! Achha by the way, did you see the last episode? I can bet and tell you that guy is a flirt! I have been noticing him since the very first episode! I like that guy, hez soooooo cute! I don’t know why they took Rakhi in the show! You know in the third episode she couldn’t even pronounce the name of the Lords properly! Such a shame na?”

Ufff! Yeaah! Such a shame it was! Tina wasn’t an exception! She didn’t miss a single episode of the entire Swayamvar series and narrated every episode and all her stories ended with ‘I hate Rakhi Sawant and that stupid show!’

Anyways, out of the 18 fools who participated in the show, Elesh Parujanwala, was one who exchanged garlands with her (for me it was a floral tribute for Elesh)! But later on Elesh was back to his senses, and he finally broke up with Rakhi. I mean life rarely gives you a second chance! I was glad to have seen him escape from the verge of being ruined!

CASE STUDY 2-RAHUL DULHANIYA LEY JAYEGA

“Hmmmm hmmm hmmmm! Heyyyy heyyy heyyy hmmmm hmmm haaaaan haaan, hein hein hein hein, ahan haan haan ummnnn ummnnn hmmmm hmmmm.”

I have never ever seen/heard such a horrible laughter! That was Rahul Mahajan for you! I wonder how his kids will ever survive with his monster kind pathetic laughter! Hearing his laughter, I can hardly differentiate whether he is scared or he is trying to scare some one.

His first marriage turned out to be another Swayam-War when he had married his long time girl friend Shweta and they were divorced later on. I was a part of the studio audience while she gave an interview to IBN-7 news channel regretting her decision of having married Rahul.

In case of Rakhi ka Swayamvar Elen proved to be lucky! Dimpy Ganguly couldn’t and the couple was married live on the television! Only time will tell if they are married, or they are happy, or they are happily married!

CASE STUDY 3-SANIA-SHOAIB CONTROVERSY

Huh! There seems to be no end to celebrity Swayam-Wars!

Now here, both had issues with their 'first innings'.

Sania was earlier engaged to her childhood friend Sohrab Mirza. Very soon their parents called off the engagement. Reason given by Sania was incompatibility! Her dreams were 'smash'ed!

Mr Malik even had a better story. He had signed a Nikahnama with Ayesha Siddiqui way back in 2002. It was again called off as it was an agreement over the phone, that proved to be a false agreement. As per Shoaib the photographs which were sent to him were of a slim Ayesha, but Mallik was ‘heavily’ disappointed to witness the real Ayesha. He had no answer for this 'googly'!

Both Sania and Shoaib have gone through one Swayam-Wars each, and even this one is creating a rage in India! Only time will tell if this one is a peaceful moreover permanent Swayamwar or it proves to be another Swayam-War. My best wishes for their 'second innings'!
