Recently I saw a reality show in star plus “sach ka samna” in which the guest was Vinod Kambli, Sachin’s best friend. In this show he made the so called controversial statement “We are very close… we were very close. He could have done a little more, but he didn’t”.
Media reported that Vinod Kambli is trying to splash dirt on the cricket God Sachin and their 26 year old friendship will come to an end once Sachin hear this. They made a big fuss about Kambli’s statement.
The question asked to Kambli was “Do you believe that Sachin could have done more to save you from your self-destructive behaviour?” To which Kambli replied as ‘Yes’. I really couldn’t understand what is there to blow up his answer. I felt this answer was blown up only because they wanted promotion of the show and this did the trick.
This piece of news was in every media till Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli made a joint appearance at a public felicitation function at Nagpur. The function was contacted to felicitate their guru Ramakant Achrekar. Media corrected the news and praised the bond between Sachin and Kambli.
By that time, every one was interested in watching that particular episode of “sach ka samna”. I guess they would have had more audience for the particular episode. Everyone who loves Sachin would be interested in hearing Vinod Kambli. So would be everyone who loves cricket. After all Sachin is God if cricket is a religion.
Hail the media and the false publicity given to promote programs….
