Ratan Ka Rishta

Cast: Host: Hiten Tejwani; Starring: Ratan Rajput 

Seen on: Monday - Friday, 8 pm; Saturday, 10.pm, Imagine TV 

It’s the third season of Swayamvar on Imagine. And this time, it’s primetime heroine, Ratan Rajput who the channel is giving over in marriage. 

Swathed in yards of silk, zardosi and brocade, in elaborate hairdos and tons of jewellery, complete with maang tika and jhumkas, the emaciated Ratan, who struck primetime gold with her turn as the poor farmer’s daughter in Zee’s Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, looks a bit out of place in this sad swayamvar. The glow of a wannabe bride is certainly missing despite layers of pancake and her 16 suitors, barring a couple of them, seriously make you reach out for your remote. 

At the time of writing, the wedding tamasha was two grooms less. While she ‘eliminated’ one for being “too good”, the massive Dolly Bindra who arrived on an elephant (is PETA watching it?) dressed like a Christmas tree helped the aspiring bride in eliminating another.
