Names were called out and participants were sorted as per their views – Men supporters on one side and Men haters on the other side. the Neeya Naana set was there in front of us. But, the seating arrangements were changed again and again for an hour. Reason given for this was participant’s dress colors and appearance should look well spread out when viewed on TV. We were asked to clap continuously with a smile on our faces. Then, we were asked to look straight for 10 minutes. This continued for around an hour while we waited for Mr. Gopinath, the famous host of Neeya Naana. Antony, the director of Neeya Naana, instructed both sides of participants. He gave us a list of points to be spoken about, and a list of points to be avoided. After this, his assistants instructed participants on the do’s and dont’s. like don’t grab the mike, instead ask for it etc.įinally, Mr. He had a brief discussion with the director, followed by a briefing with the assistants. Gopinath introduced the topic as “Women’s view of Men – Carefree or Suffering”. Gopinath spoke was prompted by the director. At first, I felt strange that there was an echo for anything he says. Then I realized that it was the director prompting loudly. It looks like Mr.Gopinath or Mr.Antony had specific points in mind. As the mike moved among participants, they allowed a few participants to talk for long about specific points, but gave rude rebukes to a few participants for other points.įor Ex., the lady who started talking about her personal experiences was rudely asked to stop. Gopinath instructed her was not to talk about personal “stories”. But another young lady who spoke of her team mates behaviour was encouraged to talk. This young lady did not use respectful language ( her exact words were “thanni adichittu mattai aagiduvanga”). But she was encouraged to continue talking.Īfter 30 minutes of talking to the carefree side, Mr.Gopinath appeared stressed out. He said he was frustrated because participants were not giving answers as he expected. For the next one hour, Mr.Gopinath picked out participants one by one, and threw questions at them on a host of men related issues. Those who could not give a satisfactory answer got harsh rebukes. At the end of an hour, most of the participants on that side were hushed up.
