| Stills from BALH |
Intimacy isn’t explicit on TV in India because channels cater to family audiences. Usually, all you see is hugging, caressing and sighing, shots of various portions of the actors’ anatomy, romantic songs in the background, flying hair, candle flames wavering and flowers strewn about the set.
Viewers of this popular television soap were in for a big surprise as the lead actors Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanvar indulged in a liplock which was part of good 17 minutes long love-making scene. The episode aired last night at 10.30 pm on Sony.
The channel was promoting episode for a while but an actual lip to lip wasn't really expected. People watching the episode with families were a bit scandalised.
Sakshi did a decent job but it was Ram who took the cake. His expressions of hesitation, desire and love came out quite naturally.
Reactions to the love-making episode have been as intense as the scene itself. Bangalore-based Sangita Kini, 29, says, “It was too much for a TV serial that you watch with family and kids. Ekta is trying to shoot her shows like films for a rise in TRPs. This episode needs to be condemned.” Pooja Shenoy, from 24, New Delhi, feels the same. “I wasn’t comfortable watching the episode with my family,” she says, backed by Aditya Raj, 45, from Jaipur. “For TV, the scene was long drawn out and too much,” he says. “Otherwise, the romance was just right.”
Bade Acche Lagte Hain, with television rating of 3.25% (as reported by Screen), is a story of two strangers from different backgrounds getting married and eventually falling in love. Kapoor plays business honcho Ram in his 40s while Tanwar portrays Priya, a teacher in her 30s. In the last episode, Ram confesses his love to Priya and consummates his marriage. And how!
The bedroom scene was enacted with, In Lamhon Ke Daaman Mein from Jodhaa Akbar playing in the backdrop. In the film too, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan consummated their marriage in this song sequence. It's so obviously contrived.
However, the promo scene, which had Bahon Ke Darmiyan as the background score, wasn't aired. May be there's still more to come. So next time, be a little wary if your kids or parents are by your side when you are glued to another episode of BALH.
While producer Ekta Kapoor says Ram makes 40 and fat look sexy, people on Twitter are making fun of his weight.
Rahul Nanda (@rahulnanda86): "Ram Kapoor is trending. What did he eat now!! Last heard he thought the taj mahal was milky bar"
Manudev Jain (@z_jain): "Move Aside ! Move Aside ! Ram Kapoor needs 6 of 10 trending spots to trend completely."
We_Wake (@TheMantallBwoy): "That awkward moment when #BALH production people call a crane to separate Ram Kapoor from Sakshi Tanwar after that love making scene."
Tulika (@TulikaP): "Size zero to size thousand! :-P RT "@Trendulkar: Q: What is the opposite of Ram kapoor? A: Kareena kapoor. #size0"
