As and when the news was leaked about the Sania Mirza marrying Shoaib Malik ex-captain of Pakistan cricket team there was a harakiri of sorts in India and the media coverage for this news was given as if there was an ongoing tension between India & Pakistan, where from NDTV's Barkha Dutt went on to air a show just on this issue and all the other channels followed, and were asking all sorts of stupid questions, whom will you support when an India-Pakistan match is going on and then asking some personal questions like when did you both start to see each other.
I mean there has to be a line drawn what Media really want to show people in terms of news, when there are so many problems much bigger than Sania-Shoaib marriage this news bit is given way too much of importance and are just into grabbing eyeballs than covering news.

And with Shoaib in the prior controversy of a marriage to a Indian girl from Hyderabad through online has given media all the more ingredients to dish out many things on useless issues.

Most of the viewers want the colourful news thats why there are serving what is in demand. People cry for actual news however they don't switch to DD News. It is all about viewers choice.

No! i think. If it was so easy every diplomat from India would be marrying Pakistani gals. And vice versa.. No one knows their both's intention regarding the marriage, But let us hope good for them.

I dont think just one marriage can do any good to the relations two countries share.Marriage is a personal affair and it should not be politicized just because of their professions.As such they intend to stay in a neutral country.The biggest...

This is a very complicated issue. When a girl gets married, she has to stay with her husband. But in Sania's case, he has to run everytime in Pakistan government to update her visa since she can't take dual citizenship as it is not allowed by...

To be neutral is their responsibility, but currently every newspaper is expressing views/agenda of political parties from which they get advertisements & other fringe benefits.

Indias' new missiles will be named after Ayeesha Sania as they can bring down pakistani missles before they fly high., ( we could not name earlier missles after Zeenat aman, Reena Roy and others. )

Although rising a flag may look like an easy solution on paper, I think it will be tougher to implement. There is a definite market for these so called 'hot breaking' news channels and newspapers and they are catering to it. For every one person...

If a leader can book a judge for 1 million dollar than I am sure it will be more easier for them to temper the report easily with 100k dolars. anyways joke apart, but its really a very bad time for indian politics.
