Nine women prisoners of the local central jail are eager to become prospective brides of Rahul Mahajan in the TV reality show Rahul Dulhania Le Jaayega and have started wearing lipsticks to look attractive and beautiful for this upcoming event.
"These nine prisoners, including convicts and undertrials, have moved applications, seeking permission to participate in the TV Swayamvar show of Rahul, son of BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, in which he is proposed to choose his better-half," Bhopal Central Jail Superintendent PD Somkunwar said.
He had sent these prisoners applications to the Jail Headquarters, adding that the pleas of undertrials will be decided by the court while that of convicts will be looked into by the headquarters, Somkunwar said.
These women are very much interested to take part in the TV show, adding that they after moving applications have started wearing lipsticks, Somkunwar said. The way these women are dressing to look attractive and beautiful for the show has surprised other prisoners, he said.
Some women prisoners are laughing and teasing these women inmates eager to participate in the show, Somkunwar said.
"I am not opposed to the aspirations of these women and want to see them happy. Even they are human beings and have all the rights to be happy," Somkunwar said.
The aspiring brides include, Preeti (32) - a convict in NDPS case, Bhagwati (18) - an undertrial in a dowry case, Seema (25) - convict in a murder case and Sunita (30) - an undertrial in a drug case, an official said.
The women are of the opinion that they will be the perfect match for Mahajan, who too has served jail time for drug possession and consumption.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Additional Inspector General of Jail, A Khare has said that these women will not be granted permission to take part in the TV show as it goes against the rules.
