Tu Tu Main Main Live – Yuvaraj Vs Yuvaraj

Yuvaraj has been asked to appear in the Gurgaon court in an assault case allegedly happened on the night of December 12 during Yuvi’s birthday bash. While this appeared to be just another piece of news for us, Headlines Today thought otherwise.

They decided to host a special program on the case with participations from Neelam Mahajan – the victim’s mother – her not-so (read ‘at all’)-outspoken lawyer and Shabnam Singh – Yuvi’s mom. What followed was a literal ‘tu tu main main’ type war of words, mostly from Neelam. Well, she claimed to be a journalist for twenty long years and it definitely shows.

Shabnam’s conversation – whenever she started with a sentence – was invariably hijacked by Neelam and at one point in the midst of the chaotic mayhem, Shabnam accuses Neelam of being a publicity hunter. There goes Gujjar Singh – the host – adding fuel to the fire by asking Neelam what her reply was to the publicity-hunt accusation.

Rest of the half an hour was a pandemonium mostly lead by the overpowering Neelam. When it was revealed that Neelam had agreed for a settlement to withdraw the case earlier, she went ballistic yet again – this time accusing the channel for defaming her and her family.

Finally, the ugly spat turned uglier when she decided to walk away from the studios while the camera was still rolling. She did not forget to forcibly remove the microphone out of her lawyer’s shirt before taking him – actually drag him to be precise – out of the studio.

All this time, the lawyer did not utter a single word and seemed perplexed. Poor thing.

Talk about soaps and the unrealistic saas / bahus clad heavily in designer saris and salwars that occupy prime time television. Fact is stranger than fiction.
