Tulsi, Baa-Bahu, Mihir are passé. Sadly, a murdered teenager, Aarushi Talwar might become the new household name. Something might become more popular than Tulsi’s saree or one of the K-serial women’s earrings. You might find some secret soap-keeper selling it secretly and eventually some famous ones selling it openly – Honour Killing.
Honour Killing is Ekta Kapoor’s next new tele-serial concept in the name of creativity and Ms Kapoor has already given the the-end to yet-unsolved Aarushi murder case - that her father had killed his daughter for trying to bring ‘dishounour’ to the family by having an affair with their homehelper.
BBI, yes BBI’s (Balaji Bureau of Investigation) creative cop (head) Nivedita Basu, went on record to say Aarushi’s mother can only wait and watch till the ‘honourable product’ is out.
Because it’s a fictional based show… And Balaji Telefilms won’t be responsible for any co-incidental event... Perhaps, a similar looking statutory line can help Balaji’s to go on air. But who will take the responsibility for populating Honour Killing in India? Jitendra?

- Alive, and don't do anything significant to realise that. Sometime I try to find truths in lies... Don't know why! The last time I looked at the sky was to see an airplane flying over and missed inside the clouds at 2:30 AM... Now, am learning to look back at the sky. Yes, at 2:30 AM but just to talk to the stars and if the moon is kind enough. Back to the start, loving it too:)

As a professional marketer, I believe there is a productive role for the media to play in addressing the dishonor killings issue, but it has to be done properly.

Honour Killing, as a concept, is yet not popular in India barring a few parts of Uttar Pradesh (In Northern India).
So the dialouge here should not be how to stop it, rather, it should be why to start it?
The middle-class, which though is a catchphrase and an undefined term in the Indian context, might get infected by such a concept-honour killing. Don't we have enough social problems to deal with?
