This is the second blog post that I'm writing on this programme, and still can't help but wonder...
What really is it that drives the participants to come in front of the television cameras and expose their deepest, darkest secrets to the world?And after much pondering, have finally concluded that it just has to be the prospect of the prize money that is offered to them.
Is that money really worth it, though? Because, as I see it, here's the tradeoff....
For instance in the programme that I just watched, when a man tells the programme host that he's been responsible for conning students who came to study at his so called Acting 'Institute'?
Or then, his wife sits through the programme while he admits to having had an intimate relationship with a colleague?
Or...or..or...or...
Can any amount of money in the world be a possible replacement for breaking the trust of those one holds really near and dear?
Therefore is Sach Ka Saamna/Facing the truth really such a good idea?
Or can he/others like him, manage to get across to the other side of this tunnel?
Despite Sach Kaa Saamna?
In societies that are more materialistic, maybe the few thousand dollars is a good incentive. In societies such as India where values like marriage, family bonds etc are very meaningful its certainly not worth it.
