Rakhi ka Swayamvar - The Hype

Rakhi Magic has gripped the nation, or so NDTV Imagine would have you believe. Here is some of the evidence that would help them validate their claim -

1.  The opening week of RS provided NDTV Imagine with the highest TRP of its history. (NDTV Imagine is a loser channel. Their highest TRP Ratings are less than half of Star Plus which itself is only 3rd on the ratings listing.)
2. More than 15,000 applicants sent in their applications to be selected by Rakhi Sawant as her husband. (That's cool. There are about 200 million males in marriageable age bracket. Enough to slaughter those 15,000.)
3. An 87 year old single father from Delhi, Dr RK Joshi applied to be Rakhi Sawant's husband. (What the ...??)
4. Athar Parvez, a crime branch constable from Kashmir wanted to be Rakhi's husband. So badly, that he left his wife and family back home to do so. (Sadly being married caused him a disqualification. But more importantly, a 'sting' operation by E24, the only channel even more obscure than Imagine, supposedly revealed that the whole dq was a setup and that NDTV knew about Parvez's marriage.)
5. Ram Kapoor challenged two of the suitors to prove their love for Rakhi by tattooing her name on their body. Smart man Kripal Singh backed out, while Pranav Damle went ahead and got inked. (We Pity the Fool.)
6. Rakhi got NRI bids to be her husband. One of the 16 finalists in Elesh Parujanwala from Toronto, Canada. (And he won. Means Rakhi's no longer gonna be India's premier entertainment??)
7. Nagpur lover boy Ashwin Chaudhary ditched his only sister's marriage to try and woo Rakhi. (Now that makes two rakhis that he won't be getting.) 
8. The show caught the eye of World famous astro-numerologist and vaastu consultant (now that's what we call a really big pile of crap) Sandhiya Mehta. She said that according to her "calculations", Rakhi would certainly not be marrying anyone and this show was just a publicity stunt and a sham. (The Swayamvar might well be a scam, we don't know. But reportedly "Mehta ma'am is a numerology and horseshit counseller for top politicos like Narendra Modi, businessmen and even scientists." She does seem to know a good scam when she sees one.)
