 Imitation is the best form of flattery. Television thrives on this
policy. If you’ve scrolled through most TV channels in the last month,
you’ll find uncanny similarities in the tracks of most shows.
Death, leap, or hidden relationship, most TV shows have adopted
either of these tracks. A new dimension has been added to TV wedding,
with the producer/channel making it a grand affair. Celebrities, who
have nothing to do with the show, are being roped in as guest
performers. The trend was started by Sony’s ‘Baat Hamari Pakki Hai’
where popular faces like Rakhi Sawant, Bappi Lahiri, Mahhi Vij, and
Aamir Ali earned some additional income.
Imagine TV, the first channel to introduce paid guests but on
non-fiction, are now adopting the same theory for fiction too. ‘Jyoti’,
one of its old shows, will soon see the wedding of the protagonist and
Kabir (Aamir Dalvi). Sony managed to create hype around the show.
The Jyoti-Kabir wedding might not be as grand as Shravan-Saachi
nuptial, but Imagine is doing its best to keep up the interest. Roshni
Chopra, who recently won ‘Desi Girl’, a reality show on Imagine TV, must
not have expected to chip in with extra efforts post ‘Desi Girl’. The
lady is among the first celebrity guests to dance at Jyoti (Sneha Wagh)
and Kabir’s wedding. She’ll be shooting for this sequence today.
We wonder how the lady must be feeling. Well, she definitely is
likely to be rewarded for her efforts. Given her age, and marital
status, it’s unlikely that Chopra will bag more offers. Shaking a leg or
two at a reel wedding isn’t bad option.
Who’s next after Roshni? How about asking the controversial pair of
Mr. and Mrs. Rahul Mahajan to return the favor? They may not look
pretty, but seeing them together might allay fears of their separation.
