Satyamev Jayte eh?

A hugely popular game show in the West, Star Plus, in an attempt to salvage its plummeting TRPs, recently bought the format of the show which involves hooking the contestants up to a polygraph and asking questions which are scandalous to say the least. Not sure, however, if the Indian audience is ready for something of this sort. Oh yes, their taste in voyeuristic entertainment would not be an issue, given the success of Splitsvilla, Big Boss and Rakhi ka Swayamwar. Still there does exist a probability that the format might be too bold for the Indian audience to swallow. Anyways, my sister and I compiled a list of questions that we would have liked to ask people, living or dead, on such a show.
  • Pranab Mukherjee: Was CII influential in drafting the 2009 Union Budget?
  • Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: Did you really die in the 1945 plane crash?
  • Shahrukh Khan: Have you and Karan Johar done it?
  • Sonia Gandhi: Did your decision to decline the Prime Ministerial post, after having been the Congress candidate for the job, have to do with the Bofors case?
  • Bill Clinton: Were there more before Monica?
  • Pravin Mahajan: Was there external influence in your brother's murder?
  • Marylin Monroe: Did Robert Kennedy discuss classified information?
  • Amelia Earhart: (Not really a Moment of Truth format question, but one I have wanted to know all the same) Where the hell did you go?
Further suggestions are welcome...
