Television Killed The K Star | 2008-10-20
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi bows out to the demands of revolutionary television
This Diwali, light a few more lamps, if you will, The Bitch will pay for the oil from the wellness springs flowing from Gauri Khan‘s ‘Mannat‘. (If you still haven‘t guessed the secret of her oily looks)
But K-Ekta Kapoor is seeing red. No, not the ‘Kahani Hamaray Mahabharat Ki‘ Draupadi vastra haran yard upon yard red, just plain sindoori red.
Balaji Telefilms, in true bullish spirit has accused Star Plus of breach of contract after the channel guys told K-Ekta to put an end to ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi‘.
So when Balaji in full tandav spirit demanded why, the channel chaps said bhai why not?
8 years, it‘s been eight years since the K terror was unleashed on the nation. The stranglehold of the Kyunki parivar has been so agonising on the health of a million households that the poor channel guys were fed up of paying damage control bills for all the burnt housewives and their unborn across nationwide hospitals.
When all the Bollywood stars have descended on to the small screen with their naach gaana tamasha, who in their right frame of mind wants to follow a barrel shaped Tulsi around her courtyard. Even the courtyard has sunk in over the years, from the grief of her prosperity (in terms of weight)!
The K-Bomb that K-Ekta carpeted the telly world with in the beginning of the millennium, is finally fusing out. Like some Diwali crackers that go phut-phut in the night.
‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki‘ is no more the story of every damn house, every family is nuclear now. ‘Kahani Hamaray Mahabharat Ki‘ has also been asked to pack up.
The K-series not only spawned a whole lot of junk on the telly tube, these telly disasters also incorporated a sub-standard awards event where every darned saas-bahu-devar-daadi-spitz-chershire-duck billed platypus was getting a best actor in a dramebaaz role parivaar award. That was the pits.
And the nation was getting to a point where it did not matter what was being beamed on the idiot box, it had got to a stage where it did not offend, it was simply ignored.
Star Plus decided to buckle up, with a hazaar channels being dished out every second; the ancient children of the corn (read Balaji babies) had to go. But does this mean the battle of the K‘s is over?
Has Indian television finally woken up to reality---the reality of reality shows outdoing everything else on television. In the urgency for the junta to be a star on tv, daily soaps have lost the foam to redefine small screen as the home ground of the homilies.

Thank god for small mercies.
Thank God someone had the balls to respond to Ekta‘s arrogant ‘if you don‘t like it don‘t watch‘. Now millions will be spared brain numbing Krap that her spawns spew out thinking it‘s entertainment.
Hurray!!!! | Shobha
