In response to the many negative comments that have been made about ‘SACH KA SAMNA’ I have something to say too but which are however more positive.

Everyone in every newspaper I came across were saying the same thing, that this show is exposing a lot of dirty secrets about a person’s private life which is better kept undercover. This show has exposed one sad fact about the tremendous lack of morals in people.

The hypocrisy of the Indian men is also evident from that fact that while they themselves go around sleeping with everyone starting from their clients to colleagues, they show zero tolerance to philandering when it comes to the women.

The shocking incident which took place in Meerut is proof enough where a man inspired by Sach ka Saamna “persuaded” his wife to confess that one of their two children had been fathered by her lover and then slit her throat with a blade seriously injuring her.

This once more reflects the mentality of the Indian men which is still stuck in the middle ages when a woman is infidel even if it be for valid reasons (maybe the husband was alcoholic or was incapable) it becomes a punishable offense but a men cheating behind their wives and girlfriends or harboring sexual fantasies about their girlfriend’s best friend, nothing wrong with that huh?

My question to all those people who thinks that this show will take a toll on Indian relationships is what is the point in nurturing such a relationship which is based on lies. When trust which is the main basis of a relationship is betrayed, the sanctity of the relationship is lost, then it is pointless to be in it anymore.

I really don’t know how a woman sit through those times when she comes to know that her longtime husband has fantasized about somebody else during intimate moments with her or he has illicit relationship with other women. Many people try to wiggle out of such uncomfortable situations by stating stupid excuses like those were his weak moments or that it was an accident, mistake etc etc. (how lame).

Many people will say that even women have gone into relationships outside marriage, its absolutely true but such cases are comparatively fewer and in many of them there were serious reasons behind her doing so (those who have followed the show regularly would understand. Be it a man or woman one thing that I want to say is that if a person had the guts to do a wrong thing without hesitation, without thinking of the consequences he should also learn to master the courage to admit it.

Most people are afraid to face the truth and that proves the deteriorating moral condition of our countrymen who was once known for their moral strength, valour, courage and values. Each of us at the end of the day should see whether we are answerable to our conscience for whatever we did throughout the day, if yes then there shouldn’t be any problem in answering the rest of the world.

But most people try to run away either from the pricking conscience or harsh reality which makes them afraid of facing the truth. For example my didi said she would never want her husband to sit on the hot seat of ‘sach ka samna’ fearing what hurtful truths about her beloved husband might be exposed. She would rather remain in the dark about whether her husband is having an extramarital affair or not.

So it seems people would rather live in the illusion that everything is alright than face the truth. Truth as my mother says is a very dangerous thing which can make at the same time break things we hold dear and unless a person is strong enough to handle the consequences it is better left undisturbed.

But the person who irrespective of what might be the outcome goes out bravely to meet it is a HERO. When I watch this show I wonder where are these people? Is everyone so bad? Does everyone have some dark secret to hide? I knew the world to be quite a corrupted place but this show has deeply shaken whatever faith I had left in people.

Are good men an extinct species? Is there no one in this world who has not done anything immoral in his life, nothing tremendously shameful? There are too many questions and the most probable answer to all this is NO. Truthfulness and honesty are two things which I give utmost importance to in my life but I have secrets too.

I have hidden from my parents the fact that I am dating a guy but I don’t feel guilty about this because I know am not doing anything wrong, its just that they would think I am too immature to handle this stuff. But I am sure later they would happily accept it and I wouldn’t mind shouting it out to the whole world.

I want to conclude saying that I think ‘sach ka samna‘ is a show which not only helps us face our demons but also acts as a way of repentance (as many participants have admitted) or as a just punishment for the wrongdoer and might help people start life anew with no weight upon their conscience. As the saying goes prevention is better than cure so I would suggest the best course of action that everyone should follow in everyday life is to stop and think twice and ask oneself whether its right or wrong before taking every step, trust me then the world would definitely be a better place to live in.
