Anyone watching this show? Apparently it's getting good ratings. It's a copy of Big Brother and Big Boss. Never realized that Pakistanis would end up doing such a show
 
I am also surprised that ARY is having this.

To be honest, I never liked Big Boss or Big Brother. I think the concept is lame.
 
Always found it interesting that people that dis these shows are always the one that watch them :))

Be it Tamasha Ghar, Big Boss or Jersey shore

What's it about?
 
What's it about?

havent watched it, but I would guess its like Big Brother or Big Boss where people live under the same house where they are isolated from outside world. Each participant gets voted out. They are given tasks by the Big Boss and are required to complete the task.

The drama and emotions of these people who live together is captured.

Basically a reality tv show.

Big Boss was a huge hit in Pakistan as people called it dumb yet took interest in it. So good to see ary came up with its own version

Surely this being a Muslim society, you cannot have the same level of interaction between men and women which you see in BB?

Pakistani society has gone downhill, quickfast. It's all because the average Pakistani mimics Indians and that society has gone very liberal, very quick.

Most Pakistani dramas put western ones to shame for their lack of it.

Clearly you haven't heard of Waqar Zaka's show called "Over the Edge" if you think Pakistanis care about TV shows being religiously acceptable. :91:

That show makes any other show in the world seem tame.

I think BOL also did a show like Tamasha Ghar with Waqar Zaka as host.
 
Almost every country has its own version of a show like "tamasha ghar". This isn't the first time the whole "put random people in a house" concept has been done in Pakistan. BOL did it before ARY and another channel has done it before BOL.

The genre of tamasha ghar is Reality television. They try to find attention hungry people that would do anything for fame. Normally the host would make these people do weird stuff so that the show can get more ratings. This concept works because people like watching chaos sometimes.

Same thing happening in Bangladesh.

This is why state should control entertainment industry. No questionable/inappropriate content should be allowed as it can poison youth and do damage in the long run.

As long as sexual intercourse isnt taking place rest isnt an issue.

There are people who enjoy this kind of entertainment and there are people who want to be part of such reality shows.

Its good money for channels

How has it gone downhil?

What has india got to do with this?

Liberalism means having an open mind.

Sorry, but no pakistani movies or dramas have nudity or sex scenes so how do they put west to shame?

Game of thrones is amongst the best ever shows and it has nudity, you are saying that pakistani shows are shwoing that?

What people want to watch let then watch.

Western culture has certain norms that include what you've mentioned. It's been mimicked by Bollywood. Desi culture is traditionally conservative, decent. Most Pakistani dramas are amoral that feature sordid and quite simply, disturbing storylines and premises.
 
Adnan Siddiqui is the host of the show. Men and Women are required to segregate when sharing rooms. Can't blame the channels for going ahead with this show if the ratings are through the roof and there is an untapped market for this.

What has liberalism got to do with Pakistani culture? Its a western concept which basically allows people to fulfill their desires as they wish. Pakistan is a Muslim nation, Islamic republic, people know and understand their beliefs and lifestyle.

Reality TV is trash, its mainly watched by people who enjoy gossip, arguments and dont have much of a life themselves for self entertainment. Some who watch Big Brother watch people sleep lol.

It might be a different format, more catered toward a Muslim/Asian culture so will be fine.

But if true above lesbians are involved it will be interesting to see who is behind this project. Others do push their ideologies onto Eastern nations.

Sorry but its not the drama industry of pakistan that want to make these storylines. The demand is generated by the viewers. They like these story lines and make them accordingly.

If people want to watch such storylines why should anyone else have an issue with it?

I had pakistani dramas, but who am i to say what should be broadcasted and what not

Liberalism is not something you that you only link with west. Its universal.

Its like saying being open minded is the idea of west while muslims are not open minded and should not be. You just critisize islam indirectly like this.

I believe islam is a very liberal religion and isnt rigid. Turkey is a great example of it.

Just because you find reality tv trash doesnt mean tv channels should stop broadcasting it. If there is demand and good number of people enjoy something why should you or me have an issue with it?

Let people watch what they want to watch.

There is agenda behind lgbqt existing here in pakistan. They have existed in pakistan even before media started covering them.

The only difference is they are no more staying in closet. You would rather have that lgbqt people stay in closet rather thab come out in open?

You dont understand the concept of liberalism, no Singh or Bilawal invented it, its a western invention and concept as explained.

Turkey is a secular nation, Pakistan is an Islamic republic.

I have no issue with people watching anything , I was debating your point of liberalism is for all. Open mind doesnt mean lesbians should be promoted, its against Islamic principles.

Yes the agenda has been around for a while, this may be an extension.

What is coming out of the closet, please expand?

Liberalism is being open minded. I know you confuse liberalism with the far left so any discussion on it is irrelevent.

As for lesbians and gays. Why should someones sexual orientation matter to you or to state?

Yes, Islamic principles are against lesbiens, but its also against drinking, having sex out of wedlock and what not.

But we tend to draw a line or invoke islamic principles on topics which we dont feel comfortable. I know people who will invoke islamic principles on some being gay but not on someone who has sex out of wedlock or drinks booze because hey thats how life is..

Far left arent left at all anylonger.

Liberalism isnt compatible with Islam.

It doesnt matter to me but it will matter to a nation which 99% believe is the work of the devil.

Promoting homosexuality on a reality TV show in Pakistan wont go down well with most of the population, this is my only point.

You seem to think Pakistan should allow LGBT parades too?

Liberalism is compatible with islam unles you are saying islam is rigid than i wont argue with you because thats how you see the religion.

Has the most population of pakistan said anything?

Pakistan already allows transgenders to exists. Let me remind you, shemales and trans are bother different, yet we allow them to exist and be part of society now. We allowed transgenders to be represented on tv by ali nawazish.

The only one having issue is you, that why the people back hom are watching such and such. As i said before, the line or islamic principles point gets invoked on sexual orientation but not when sex out of wedlock or booze is being consumed.

You have issues with what peopl watch. You passed a comment that people who watch reality shows are those that enjoy gossip and dont have much in life. You passed a judgement without knowing any thing factuak only because you dont like something.

Thats like me saying game of thrones or spartacus is watched by people who like to watch adult content.

Let people live there lives. Let them watch what they want to watch and let them enjoy their sexuality however they want. Something bothers you dont watch it or partake it in, simple as that

No one stops a straight muslim man in uk or in pakistan from not having sex out of wedlock.

Islam confirms clearly the rules of what is permissible and what isnt. If Liberalism is compatible this would mean LGBT too is?

Pakistanis are 99% Muslim by definition they would be against such freedoms.

The transgenders in Pakistan is a cultural norm but does not mean its ok in Islam.

My only issue is with the likes of you who are promoting liberalism, claiming Pakistanis can be gay do what they like and nobody should have an issue, many Pakistani do.

What people do in their life is not my business.

So I ask again, if liberalism is compatible with Islam and Pakistan , do you support LGBT Parades and believe these will be accepted with open arms in Paksitan?

1. You are confusing liberalism with far left.
2. Peole should live their life according any way they want it and state should not indulge or dictate. If you ask the question again i will repeat the answer again

Its not the pakistanis having an issue but its you and you contradict yourself.

Youyourself accept you have jssues with liberalism in pakistan and gays doing whatever they want.

Simple thing is, mind you own business

Please define liberalism, we will find out who is confused?

Read carefully, I wrote I dont care what others do. I do mind my own business.

But when you come on here stating rubbish such as liberalism is compatible with Islam, you will be called out.

Have you watched the show? Are they promoting LGBT and liberalism?

You can google the defination of liberalism. Type " define: liberalism".

You specifically wrote my only issue, thus you have issues with liberalism existing in pakistan and with people having a different sexual orientation.

Liberalism is compatible with Islam, you may disagree with it, i dont care.

No i havent watched the show as i am not into reality shows, im not aware if they are promoting LGBQT nor do i care if they actually do.

Anyone having issues with it should not tune into ary digital and watch some other channel or show

I dont need to google, I want your definition because Ive never come across anyone claiming its compatible with Islam. My issue is with you saying this so.....Prove it.

Ive just watched a few mins on Youtube, these are not representing ordinary Pakistanis. lol. Most seems like those burgers , wannabee westerners from well off families. A couple of the men seem part of the LGBT.

like i said, i dont need to prove anything to you. You can google the definition.

also, knowing that you are an overseas, for the local Pakistanis living here you are the burger for them...

You claim you have no issue yet you use terms like burgers and wanabe westerners. People can claim you to be a wanabe Pakistani.

stop having issues with how people live there life

Please dont make a remark or point if you cant back it up in future. :zardari

I was pointing out the people are not representative of the majority of Pakistanis.

People are free to watch, not my issue.

Some originality would be nice. I hate all these in house shows that are only produced to get people talking. They make no sense to me at all.
