INDIA GETS ITS SUPERHERO

Now don’t go saying that we already have Krisshhhsshshh (or whatever the spelling is). I am talking about a superhero for REAL. One that gives justice to the deserving, hope to the distraught, love to the despondent and entertainment to the bored. Fighting crime has always been an uphill task, one which we were never very good at. In pressing times like these, this superhero is a godsend, who pledges to be the guardian of justice.

She calls herself (yes it’s a “she”), Supergirl*. Rings a bell? No? Well, it’s none other than our Indianised version of a mix between Paris Hilton and a straight Lindsey Lohan, Rakhi Sawant. Not new to the concept of reality television (who can forget the whole swayamvar drama), she is back and with such a bang that it makes me want to bang my head to the wall. The show is called “‘Rakhi Ka Insaaf… Dil se” (Rakhi’s justice) and she is out to give justice from her dil (heart). Well, at least they got that part right coz dimaag (brain) is not really an option.


The medium for this weapon of mass destruction is NDTV-Imagine again, who seem to take a liking to such insipid pabulum. I was channel surfing and all of a sudden I froze. I couldn’t see much, thanks to her pink fluorescent lipstick which blinded me but I wish I had gone deaf too. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and I heard what I shouldn't have. Rakhi Sawant is going to dole out justice? And with that Indian television has officially stooped down to its lowest level. Was this a joke? I needed to find out.

I managed to gouge out an interview in which she talks about her new show. I am jobless after all, so don’t give me that look. If you feel sorry for me, donations in kind and cash, are welcome. On being asked the reason behind doing this show, she says “People assume that I am very funny, well I am not like that. One cannot show his pain in public”. Now there are gender issues too? Looks more like grammar issues so I’ll give her the benefit of doubt. I’m not so insensitive. She adds, “Since my childhood I have seen many sins happening in front of me, I have tolerated many things in my life, which has made me so strong that today I can fight any thing that comes my way”. That is really something to admire but who will save us from this sin that you are going to commit? 

So will we be seeing a sobered down Rakhi dressed in a more judge-like manner? She has it all sorted out.  “I will be either wearing my hot dresses or sarees. It all depends on the nature of the case. I will be personally researching on the cases, and decide my costume according”. ROFLMAO! Rakhi Sawant, you are truly a proof that God has a sense of humour.

Disclaimer: I am a big fan of Rakhi Sawant and this article is based on assumptions about her, which I strongly disagree with. I love you Rakhi and I would love to be a part of your Swayamwar season 2.


Oh and I am no way involved with the promotion of the show. Consider this a warning.

*Supergirl is a song Rakhi Sawant sang.
