POV: Selling Polygamy For the Sake of Views is a Big No!

The controversial reality show ‘Bigg Boss OTT' season 3 is making headlines. This reality show often makes the news not just because of the ugliest fights but also because of the choice of contestants. It is termed the cinema is the reflection of our society. To our surprise, this is what our Indian society stands for. Now the main question is, why have we given such a big platform to personify polygamy? Yes, I am talking about the popular trio for their 'fake' fights on the YouTube vlogs— Armaan Malik, and his two wives Payal and Kritika.

It's Unethical:

It's unethical from every aspect to give this trio a platform. Now, the question arises, what message are we giving to our audience? Please go on and have several marriages and you will be praised, given a platform, and of course, a huge amount of money. That is absolutely wrong & unlawful. This may seem like a normal thing to most of us, but it's not; it has several long-term consequences attached to it.

I saw a clip on social media in which co-contestant Sana Makbul questioned Armaan about having two wives. Surprisingly, he said it's okay at least, “I am better than those who are having 10 extramarital affairs”. Kudos! for this answer. It's funny how such content is accepted by the audience in the name of entertainment. Justifying something with another wrong is hilarious and we audience reject it. 

Bigg Boss' audience is vast, and while it's good that they are giving a disclaimer, is that enough? Serving something awful to the audience in the name of OTT is extremely unfortunate. I would like to conclude by saying that for the sake of views and TRP, one should not be so sold out.
