Emotional Atyachar? Channel gets MNS call

The stinging new reality TV show, Emotional Atyachar, which can send shivers down the spine of any lover undergoing the loyalty test, has been stung by a call from the MNS.

The MNS objected to the term “Bombay’’ being used by one of the female participants spying on her boyfriend along with the crew of Emotional Atyachar. And, perhaps not surprisingly, the bosses of the TV channel complied with MNS’s wishes and announced during their show on Sunday that they would not allow the city to be referred as Bombay on their show from now on. In fact, the TV scroll even stated that they were publicly airing this statement because of a request of MNS.

“It seems like MNS has done emotional atyachar on Emotional Atyachar!’’ said environmentalist Debi Goenka, also a life member of BNHS, which was recently targeted by Sainiks .

UTV Bindass channel head H Gupta, however, asserted that there was no pressure from the MNS. “ Mumbai is the legal name. MNS brought it to our notice, which is why we abided by it,” Gupta said.
