Will they? Wont they? Do we really CARE??

Will Sania Mirza marry Shoaib Malik after the controversies the Pakistani cricketer is involved in and the bad press their alliance has got?

Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik set to bridge India-Pakistan divide with marriage!!!!

ZEE NEWS, NDTV, STAR Newsss – all of them shows us reporters summarizing the Sania-Shoaib story…ending it with pathetic look in their eyes and a poignant question on their mouths….. “Will these two marry on 15th April - this is the most important question on the minds of people in Ind-Pak!” AS IF!!!! WHAT the hell is wrong with news reporters - Can someone please tell them we couldn’t actually care less!

I NOW know… Indian media is made up of bunch of JOKERS... NDTV included, common how else can you justify… RAKHI ka Swayamvar??? Rahul ki Dulhaniya??? Ohh GOD! At least this SM drama is a notch above that nonesense!!

The question is SO??…. So what if they don’t marry, or if they do? Why do WE have to be bothered?? Agreed all of us are more or less much more bothered about our neighbor’s lives than our own. But why? Is it healthy?? I can assure you its NOT.. Not to this Level!!

The funny part is people actually think this is a UNIQUE union bridging the two nation’s bitter sporting and political divide. For all those people who think that this marriage will be a small step in cajoling the two clashing countries to communicate are under a major major misconception! If Cricket couldn’t do it… this definitely CANNOT!!

But the bigger question here is the Celebrity fixation!!! Have you ever looked at pop culture icons and wondered why certain celebrities appear in ads? Especially when the person has no perceptible affiliation with the product being sold in the ad. It seems like there is some mystifying force that attracts companies to recruit these stars to be in their ads.

What’s happening here is that these ads try to entice viewers into looking at them by displaying popular figures who are popular and controversial. Remember Akshay Kumar’s Lewis Unbuttoned campaign?? Oh God, What the hell was that??? SO ya the man asked his wife to unbutton his jeans on stage… SOoo… Was he NUDE??….Whose sentiments are being hurt HERE??? That’s IT! Obliviously each and every one of us is entitled to an opinion, But in my personal opinion, what we need to learn is WHERE to STOP!!!

These people are appealing/ CASHING IN on OUR obsession with celebrity’s lives. This disease which we have been stricken with is I feel an attempt for people to pay less/no heed to their own problems. By focusing on the imperfections of superstars, we can feel some relief that our own lifestyles and imperfections are not as bad as they seem!!! Right??

This fixation that the media entices leads to celebrities lives being invaded by the paparazzi and by stalkers on one end and on the other side this fascination with controversial celebrities also leads to stars like Shah Rukh Khan (who during the promotion of his movie My Name is Khan resorted to some cheap publicity to get people into the cinemas), to purposely cause controversies just so he/she can make some more money and stay in the limelight. What WE need to do is start minding our own business!!! Letting these Soooo CALLED Celebrities live in peace (or otherwise) and to stop letting the media point our noses into what THEY think is important!!!
