MUMBAI:
Amrita TV’s AVT Premium Vanita Ratnam 2- India’s first
reality show meant exclusively for mothers, reaches its Grand Finale
on 23 August, 2008
The
grand finale of the path-breaking programme that showcased young
mothers with a multi-faceted personality will be decided solely
on the basis of SMS voting by the viewers, in a show that will be
telecast live across the globe from 6.30 pm on 23 August.
Vanita
Ratnam, its prequel in 2007,which was known as the mother of all
reality shows, virtually transformed lives – it empowered women
to break through society inflicted barriers, to soar free to their
full potential and sent ripples of realization across the male mental
attitude in Kerala.
Nearly
3000 young mothers jumped into the fray for the auditions of Vanita
Ratnam- 2 which was pruned to 15 after successive filterations;
only 4 managed to make it to the finals - Bindhu,Binu,Priya and
Romy .
These
mothers were not seasoned artists trained to give professional performances,
but ordinary housewives who metamorphosed into extraordinary women,
when placed in crunch situations, one still a student, another the
mother of twins.
The
finalists step into the arena of the Grand Finale after passing
through numerous tough rounds of competitions that tested their
skills,ingenuity, stamina and nerves.Vanita Ratnam-2 ran for five
months,and was launched on March 31 this year as a weekday hourly
show(Mon-Fri 8- 9 pm)
In
what promises to be a closely fought contest between evenly matched
competitiors, the four will clash for the crown and the total prize
money in gold worth Rs 18 lakhs.
The
three-hour long entertainment extravaganza before a 3000-strong
live audience in Trivandrum comprising contestant fans,clients,
Ad agencies,media,celebrities and channel partners will feature
vote-seeking performances of the contestants; as well as a scintillating
array of dances, skits, songs galore by invited artistes .
As
the needle of public voting swings to and fro between the contestants,
and the Finale races to a nail- biting finish, which of the four
queued up on the threshold of fame will step onto the winner’s
dias, is the question on every lip.
Actually,
SMS voting lines for the four finalists is already open, with the
fluctuating vote shares of each being telecast on Amrita TV and
its website at periodic intervals.
As
it gets closer to D-Day, the excitement is due to reach a crescendo,
and their performances and luck on that memorable night will ultimately
decide who will emerge as Vanita Ratnam-2.

organizations who have shown interest in partnering with Amrita
TV for internet streaming for worldwide audiences are Google, Rediff.com,
