Meri Pyaari Rakhi Sawant

Dear Ms. Sawant,

I have heard so many people talk about your show ‘Rakhi ka Swayamvar’ that I made it a point to catch some of the episodes. I also found a few words that best describe it – obnoxious, ridiculous, preposterous, absurd, nonsensical, outrageous etc etc. Don’t you think that this show is a typical example to what extent a human can go, to make money, apart from being a grave insult to the institution of marriage?

For starters, you change your costumes every 10 minutes and engage in meaningless and atrocious conversations with each of the guys interested in becoming your ‘saiyyan’. I must say that the buffet of guys waiting to marry you has a lot of variety, with models, engineers, upcoming actors, businessmen and a police officer. How on earth do you think that guys who are just 21-22 years old are even eligible to be on this show, leave alone marrying you? One of the guys even left a well paid job as a sales manager to marry you. Well, someone needs to instil some sense into him that having a job itself is the biggest motivation for majority of us today and both the decisions require lot of guts, determination and oodles of patience – leaving the job and marrying you.

At the end of each show you eliminate people who you feel do not share any interests with you or you do not feel any chemistry (whatever that means to you). Well, you have used Talent contests, writing you a love letter, Ramp walking, Dancing with you, the army training style crawling on the mud and jumping artificial walls, turning an iron rod using ones throat and walking on fire.

What has someone dancing, walking on fire or dirtying oneself got to do with marriage? Unfortunately the reasons that you gave were equally obnoxious as your highness. Are you really looking for a life partner? Or are you on a maid, servant, entertainer hunting quest? What would be next? Cook a meal for you or wash your clothes or even race horses.

Get a life. Let me tell you Ms. Sawant, there are better ways to meet interesting guys – matrimonial sites or dating websites or even hook-up with friend’s friend and their friends. The only reason you need a reality show is when no one would otherwise want to meet you.

Please please for the audience’s plight, stop crying on television with sob stories of your past, even though it might add flavour to your self proclaimed celebrity status. And what would take it for you to not open your mouth on the show? You can’t speak for nuts and the ‘camminication skills’ are best left aside.

I wonder why any ‘Men’s rights activists’ or ‘nar bachao kendra’ or any NGO has kept quiet for so long. If this was a guy having a swayamvar with a bunch of girls around, the likes of Girija Vyas would have jumped for publicity. Your show is the heights of an insult to not only men but to everyone who believes in the sanctity of a marriage.

Oh!! by the way, ever heard of FCP? Yeah!!!! A Female Chauvinist ----- (something’s are best untold.)

Regards
An Ardent fan of yours

PS: The show is still on and there’s more to come from me.

The joke so far - in one of the episodes there was a dispute between her and another guy and a third guy stepped in as if he were the only savior left in the whole world to support her. For that, Ms Sawant said 'unhone stand uthaya mere liye', literally translated from english ' he took a stand for me'.
