I ofcourse don't see the show but from whatever I have seen on youtube, I am very much sure that Rakhi ka Swayamvar has set new lows in Indian television whcih has already very low standards thanks to infotainment news channels.

There are 2 more new reality shows launched in India, first one is Iss Jungle se mujhe bachao (save me from this jungle) and Sach ka samna (based on American The Moment of Truth) with Sach ka Samna already in controversy due to the vulgar questions being asked in the show.

If you are looking to file for passport application to go to foreign countries, I had wrote a post about it which you can read here.
