Missing the old Miss Indias

         the  benchmarks!

It took four and half hours to crown another Indian woman a Pantaloons Femina Miss India. (Well the title has changed from Femina Miss India to Ponds Femina Miss India to now Pantaloons Femina Miss India; I guess they sell more than just the name of the contest)

I watch this show for the sheer nostalgia and hope. I honestly love Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta among a bunch of the older Miss Indias. These women were not even churned through the ‘training or polishing’ process and were still so god-dammit charming. They were inspired b y more than Mother Teresa and their mothers and wanted more than ‘world peace’. I miss those misses!

Well the show began with the gorgeous Malaika Arora being the beauteous her, and welcoming judges such as Deepika Padukone (Gorgeous hamesha!), Asin (pretty), Nandita Mahtani (for her style quotient), Sushmita Sen (a little over fed Miss Universe still!) and Ajay Devgan (why?). Then came the absolutely absurd preliminary round winners such as Gilli Miss Golden Heart, Jealous 21 Miss Sexy Legs (if I open a bar, that’ll be priority), Indiatimes Miss 58888 (is that how they define the perfect figure now-a-days?), Sony My Miss India and the best of the lot was Kohler Miss Bold (this should lead to a mental contradiction with the contestants- should be the desi demure girl or should be the hard ‘bold’ slutty mama?); and the rest were the old ‘Best Smile, Best Body yadayada!

I guess even the event organizers knew that these women were not hot enough to burn the TRP meter, so they got in a 3 lovely lads to spice things up. First a frosty Genelia D’souza swinging to the 80, a slightly not interested Kanga Renault trying to dance and the cherry was Priyanka Chopra with her desi girl bonfire! One of the other entertaining factors was Swapnil and Karan sprucing up some cheap but fun humour! I guess it was the male ooglers, thus passed the womanly ear! But what crash landed on our ears was the choice of music, with ‘I wanna make love to you’ being followed by ‘masakalli’ for the ramp stamps!

A friend of mine called just to vent, saying the posing was poise-less, walking wastes and answers (like Wichita saying she wanted to change her nose and God should work on Humans and world peace!) annoying!

Well through the rut came the not so gorgeous beauties- the winners:

ჱ Pantaloons Femina Miss India Earth- Shriya Kishore (wordy but not sturdy beauty!)
ჱ Pantaloons Femina Miss India World- Pooja Chopra (talented but the ‘bold’ kinda beauty)
ჱ Pantaloons Femina Miss India Universe-  Ekta Chawdhary (sweet but not salty enough!)
Well some more surprises were the announcement that the Pantaloons Femina Miss India World and Pantaloons Femina Miss India Universe have the same pedestal and stature. NEWS: for many years, they both have the same stature, no winning!

Hope these women meet an alchemist, and India meets another world beauty!

Goody two shoes

August 21, 2008 at 9:20 pm · Filed under Indian Television

Jade Goody infamous around the world for her racial remarks came to India to redeem herself in her 3rd Big Brother show. She came to do the only thing she knows but left just as quick. The Reality TV Star who made a living out of these show was all over the news for participation in the Indian version of Big Brother, Bigg Boss. Not even a week into the show she had to leave after being diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. But Tamasha Online thinks there’s more to it. This whole thing seems like a publicity campaign and it seems to be working in favour of the show. Sure, The whole cancer thing may be true but did she know this even before she stepped into the Bigg Boss House? And even if she didn’t, there must have been some sort of reasoning behind her conducting those tests in the first place. Why then would she consider doing a Reality TV show without knowing the results of the test. 

There are also rumours afloat that the contract Jade Goody signed with Endemol (the production house) was a guest appearance on Big Boss 2. And they were well aware of her date of departure even before the show started.  

Well at the end of it all Tamasha Online has just one question, How real is Reality Tv??
