Kyun Bedi-yon se jakada hai Cricket??? Aseem N wrote this at 2:36 am • Filed under Sports •

Did the title remind you of Mandira Bedi? Hey man, then you are just on the right track! By any chance if you are a die-hard fan of her histrionics in ‘Shanti’ or a huge admirer of her off shoulder designer costumes please move ahead at your own discretion. Don’t blame me later for hurting your sentiments. ;)

All those who follow cricket more than just being a fan, might have already expressed their misery to watch and hear the ‘Extraa’ loquacious Mandira Bedi on the ‘Extraa Innings’ show on SEX MAX (Oops! Sorry!) its… SET MAX :lol:. With their new TRP increase formula in play titled ‘Entertainment weds Cricket’, they might have managed to get a mastodonic increase in the number of dumb folks watching their show (if not cricket), but upset the genuine interested. Their hot number for this formula – Mandira Bedi, simply adds misplaced sex appeal to some serious talk on cricket.

Its so over-fatuous to sit in front of your television set and hear to all her pakau-bakwas. She tries desperately to give her ‘expert’ and ‘exclusive’ comments on cricket based on some ‘Gully Cricket’ she once played, again thanks to Max TV for organising this promotional activity featuring her.

So what really is this femme fatale bimbette good at? With due respect to the gender she belongs to, belive me she is good for nothing to be on cricket shows. For a model of her glamour and beauty (ok, kept a little scope for any of her fans to smile if they had skipped para one), she should have been at some beauty peagent contest or may be on the ramp displaying some new Ritu Beri collection. Not here displaying her imbecile cricketing brain and her wrinkle lift creamed skin. ;)

To India, cricket means passion. We do not need an oomph girl Mandira Bedi or a cheese boy Rohit Roy on the sets of cricket discussion. Where we would like to hear some serious talk, match analysis, cricketing strategies and techniques. Not the howling, screaming and nonsense chatter of Mandira Bedi and more of her breed who may be waiting to get introduced, now impressed with their role model. We do not need entertainment to share place with cricket. We do not want to see any unwanted, undesired, unneeded glamour to be pushed upon the cricketing extravaganza. This is clearly not cricket!

For all those who support this new funda of clubbing entertainment with cricket, don’t you find Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Irfan Pathan or Harbajan Singh at all entertaining? Do you need such show dolls to interpret cricket in their own dumb lingos?

Mandira Bedi was introduced as a mandate for women in an attempt of popularising cricket amongst the fairer sex. But today with her inviting attires like skin coloured blouses, low-cut necklines, deep curve spaghetti straps and forget not her off shoulder costumes (all worn for making a spectacle of herself) has welcome enough criticism from the women’s domain. Infact during every show of ‘Extraa Innings’ my mom took every possible shot on her so many times, that I realised how much the women were also troubled to see her on screen wearing ‘Extraa’ scissored or to logically say ‘displaced attires’. And that is why this blog post is here.

Its high time that channels become more professional in their sports coverage, rather than chipping in such gimmicks. Before every match they have an astrology session too. How ridiculous! Well I know many cricketers have taken a leap into the entertainment industry. And that’s purely because they also can entertain us. I am sorry, but it just dosnt work the other way round! SEX MAX can’t really make us watch what we don’t want to. (Sorry for the deliberate error this time. I won’t stop titling the channel this until they don’t change the wardrobe of Mandira Bedi if not her :lol:).

I wonder if next is a Yana Gupta covering the Mumbai Bomb Blasts, or a Rakhi Sawant desperately trying to discuss the latest stock market trends! And to all those who just said ‘Why not?’, thanks for reading the article! :)
