Ippadikku Rose 20/3/2008

Who is jenitha and why is she in a chat show? She is a victim and was in news when she was packed off from the states in a miserable condition. As usual every media ripped the issue gave various versions and as usual very soon ‘she’ as news went in to archives. Now Rose has bought her to limelight, for a while. Rose discusses with her father and chithi and also ropes in Nirmala, a lawyer for consultation. Clippings about Jeni’s present life evoked grief.

Smalin Jennitha was married to Christy Danius, a software engineer on August 28 2006.The woman's father Sebastian told newspersons after deporting her to India on November 18th 2007 that Christy and his sister Leema had put her in a hostel within a week of their marriage and had left for US to live with their parents, who were US citizens. ''After repeated pleas Jenitha was taken to US only in March this year. But the trauma she underwent during her eight-month stint in US was unbearable'', he said. ''No sooner she reached US, Jenitha started calling me and said she was constantly being harassed by her husband and in-laws for not bringing them enough dowry'', he said.

The harassment continued despite the woman becoming pregnant.''On July 31, we received an e-mail from Christy that Jenitha sustained injuries in an accident and had been hospitalised in a state of coma,'', Mr Sebastian said.

Mr Sebastian said he immediately rushed to the US to meet his daughter where he found Jenitha in a state of coma. ''After treating there for a couple of months, we have decided to bring her back to India to keep under our care'', he added.

When the woman in advanced pregnancy stage, landed here from US in a special ambulance flight, the bruises all over her body were testimony to the harassment she had been subjected to by her greedy husband Christy Danius and his parents

It was reported that she was in coma when her parents went to states and later when in partial senses she complained that her hubby and his family pushed her out of car.

Rose looked very feminine and conducted her and the program well. As already mentioned by rose she is not finding any solutions either for Jenitha’s family nor for Dowry victims. She is just highlighting an event and showing us that this problem exists for women in our society.

Well she could have used more clippings about similar such events and also could have interviewed any member of US consulate or Jenitha’s Hubby family which could have added spice to the program.

Rose is doing well and has proved her mettle as a coordinator. Now she has to do more research for her programs and do some good editing to make her program crisp and neat. At times a long discussion with just a couple of non-celebrities becomes a drag, which she can overcome by bringing in timely clippings relevant to the show. I think she has made a beginning.

What she needs now is some more spice and something which will make her program be talked about- something like a scoop. I think the warm up is over.

We rate the show on 20/3/2008 as 7/10.

Even after this program in Vijay Tv the following questions about Jenitha still linger.

1.Is she still wife of Daniel, if so is he not liable for her maintenance?
2.If she has accused him of serious crime how was she sent off from usa without any case filed?
3.A case was filed by her father in Trichy police station what is its status?
4.USA has recorded the incident as a massive car accident. So no crime suspected, though parents allege it is. Even if so, can her husband abandon her as she was- what does the US laws say.
5.Did her parents make a mistake by bringing her here without pinning her husband.
