Sushant Singh: Crime shows help in highlighting the problems. Bollywood actor Sushant Singh, synonymous with the crime show, ‘Savdhaan India’, talks about the role. Ques: How would you define the experience of being on the show, Savdhaan India? Sushant: Very enriching! It has taught me how to be an anchor. As an actor, I was always playing a part, but for this, I had to be Sushant Singh. Ques: When you say enriching, what has the show taught you? Sushant: There are so many things that I have learnt about crime happening across the country. Some have been really shocking! Crime related to women and children is so rampant. 40,000 kids go missing every year. I never thought it would be so bad. The worst part is that all these have become a common thing and people have started taking these cases for granted. Ques: Do the crime shows help in any way? Sushant: Crime shows help in highlighting the problems. They would not solve the cases, or reduce the number but at least they can make people aware of criminal minds at work. Ques: But these can also make people paranoid? Sushant: There are many who start looking at everything with suspicion. I would say that’s a very welcome development. If a girl’s friends are noting down the number of the taxi in which she is travelling, it’s good. If we are careful about what and how we speak in front of unknown people, it’s a positive change. Ques: The number of shows based on crime has been going up — from a similar format on a rival channel...

Actor Dayanand Shetty, best known for his role as senior inspector Daya in CID, has made his hosting debut with Savdhaan India F.I.R. In this exclusive chat with indianexpress.com, Dayanand talks about hosting Savdhaan India F.I.R and CID days. The actor also reveals why he doesn’t mind being stereotyped. Excerpts from the conversation: What brings you to Savdhaan India? The fascination towards crime (laughs). I have done a crime show for so long that the genre really excites me. Even as a viewer, I like watching thriller and suspense drama. This is why when the offer came to me, I was really excited. This time, however, I am in a different role. I will only be narrating the story of the crime to the audience. Was it challenging to take up hosting? I wouldn’t call it difficult but it was definitely different. Acting comes more naturally to me where one has to react to your co-star. Here, on the other hand, I have to shoot separate links, and mouth lengthy dialogues at one go. However, it’s fun and I have already shot for like 10 episodes, and it all went well. Once you get used to it, I think it becomes easier. Given you have this righteous cop image, do you think people would relate more to Savdhaan India now? I hope so. I am not on social media so I don’t know much about the feedback. But there have been people who called and messaged me to say that they really liked my work. A lot of friends and family members also said that they are watching the show now because of me....

This is “Why don’t you go and fuck off then?” screamed a woman after two men told her they didn’t want to talk to her. “You go,” one of the men she was feuding with cheekily responded, almost proud of his rebellious tone… until the woman responded to it with a thumping slap. Almost instinctively, he slapped her in return, coupled with a statement full of shock and confusion that would reverberate in desi households for years to come: “How can she slap?” The exchange was from an Indian reality show called Dadagiri: Beat The Bullies –in which contestants had to withstand hazing and verbal abuse to win a cash prize of Rs 50,000 ($685). The producers called it In this case, that damage was most felt by the recipient of the first slap, the sender of the following one, and the guy who first stuttered the notorious question: Ravi Bhatia. “I became one of India’s most viral memes, and it almost ruined my life,” Bhatia told VICE. Viewers have had polarising reactions to this video over the years. While some believe that the clip glorifies violence and physical assault and probably shouldn’t exist at all, others find it a hilariously slapstick meme-worthy moment. It also sparked a debate on whether it’s wrong for a man to slap a woman, or Had the video gone viral even a year or two before it did, it would have probably been confined to television screens or phone Bluetooth transfers. But because it blew up in 2009, just as Indians were finding their footing on YouTube and the world ...
