Ratan ka Rishta (Swayamvar) concluded last week but, this time it garnered less TRPs than Rahul Mahajan and Rakhi Sawant’s Swayamvar. Despite that, media extensively covered someone else’s wedding for the last three months.
Apparently, Ratan Rajput was paid four crores or eight crores by NDTV Imagine. But, is it possible to find a soulmate in just three months? When the same scenario is portrayed in films it looks believable but, real life is not even close to Bollywood films.
No one here is judging the authenticity of the show. But, this fact cannot be neglected that many ‘dulhas’ are part time actors. The trend of actors/actress participating in the show can be seen from the last two seasons of the show as well.
One candidate went on to say that he has to get married this year. So, even if it was someone else’s Swayamvar he would have participated in it. Problem is why to get married on reality show? This person ultimately got rejected and even got insulted by Ratan on a national television.
The problem is in the beginning of the show both Rakhi Sawant and Ratan Rajpoot claimed that they are getting married on the show. Both ended up just getting engaged. In fact, months after Rakhi’s Swayamvar she broke her engagement with Elesh Parujanwala. The separation took place way before the second season started.
After the Swayamvar and post her break up, Rakhi rose to fame. She got signed on for new ‘item’ songs, reality shows and even a movie.
The only person who got married was Rahul Mahajan (37) to Dimpy Ganguly (23) on the show. Though he was named a ‘wife beater’ and a ‘regular druggist’ by the media yet, thousands of girls came for the auditions. People started believing that there is a happy ending possible but, after a year or so there were reports that Rahul had beaten Dimpy brutally. Now, everything is going great in their paradise but for how long?
Stories of the Swayamvar will always be a part of Indian culture and tradition. But, this fact is also true that in today’s time couples are breaking up after 48 years of marriage (Mumbai Mirror, July 06, 2011). So, Swayamvar sounds a little impractical.
In her defence, Ratan said, ‘Actually, I had said that I cannot assure you that I would marry. Swayamvar means selecting your man and it is not like you have to marry the person on the same day. Even in the Ramayan, Sita did not get married on the same day that she selected Ram.’
There are reports already being circulated in the media that Abhinav Sharma (Ratan’s fiancé) is a manglik, which can be harmful for the marriage. She has told the media that she a firm believer in astrology.
Now, we just wait and watch whether Ratan gets her small, intimate wedding with Abhinav or not?
