Normallly, I do not awake till late night but last saturday, there was no sleep in my eyes so, I decided to watch TV. I kept on changing channels to find something interesting to watch. eventually I stopped my search at UTV bindas. 

Like many other TV game shows, there is a show called Gold Safe which is telecasted LIVE everynight at 00:00 hours at UTV bindas. The programme is for two hours in which the hosts ask for a very simple quiz and if your find the correct answer you will win cash prize. Like it is shown Rs. 85000 in the picture to guess the celebrity.

sounds interesting............. very interesting?????? is not it??
you must be thinking what you need to do to win this handsome amount? very simple... you have to call the studio numbers given on the screen which is 5664464 and tell them your answer. is that only??? yes !!!

But now there is a condition that you have to call from your mobile only. once you are connected you will be asked to hold the line as you are in que. The moment you are connected with the studio host tell them your answer and if you are correct you will win the quiz. and...... Rs. 85000 is all YOURS!!!!!!!!!

hmm sounds amazing.... but let me tell you the call charges first before i proceed further... and the call charges are Rs. 12/ per minutes. Surprisingly which is not disclosed or announced in beginnig or through out the show. More interestingly you are adviced to stay connected with the line untill the quiz is over as if people continuously gives wrong answers the probability of your turn will increase and your call can be anytime connected with the studio to answer the quiz as they will keep you on priority since you are in que. huhh very funny..

You must be thinking how do I know if they don't disclose during the show then let me tell you how; i called them to know this and i lost Rs.12 in just 10 seconds........ :)

Well!!!, you must be thinking like me what if you are in que and you dont know the correct answer, you will lost your money. Money?? where is the money???? you must be thinking... look at the call charges boss..
now there is a catch even if you gives wrong answer. feeling curious!!! :) after approx 30 mins the hosts play with the viewers/participants greed and announced cash prize of Rs. 4000 even if you give wrong answers and thus appeal viewers to call them and win the cash. the hosts of programmes are very well trained and knows their job very well. they know how to trap viewers and fool them... :) people think now it is a win-win situation.. poor fellow ...

Now let me ask you who is this celebrity?? I am your most of you know the answer.

I was very much surprised when different people gave different answers, like; Ashwarya Rai, somebody said Vidhya Balan, somebody said Soha Ali Khan, Deepika padukone, Janellia Desouza, Diya Mirza, Preita Zinta, Amrita Rao, Prachi Desai, Mahima Chaudhary and so on.....I now curiously kept on watching the show and was excited to know who is gonna be the winner of this simple quiz and wins cash prize of Rs. 85000.

You will be surprised to note that approx one and half hour was passed and no one gave the correct answer. then... who won??

Ok.. Let us do some calculations.. in any case if caller disconnects or stay tuned-in how much they will loose as the winner has to be one only and how much the TV channel will earn. whosoever calls go in que requesting you to wait until you are connected with the studio hosts.

During the show; thousands of people will be calling the TV channels as there are many fools who loves easy money and why not most of us wants easy money. but let us take approx min 500 callers only.

1 hour = 60 mins
1 min = Rs. 12
90 Minutes = 12 X 90 = Rs. 1080
for 500 callers = Rs. 1080 X 500 = Rs 5,40,000 Approx (which goes to TV channels)


Now, since there was no one who gave the correct answer; the price amount is reduced for Rs. 40000 as they made the same quiz more simple and zoom-out the face for easy recongnition.

Still after many wrong answers, finally a gentlemen (vikram) from Tamilnadu called-in and gave the correct answer and won Rs. 40000 but the question remained the same WHO WON?? and WHO LOST. Now the next quiz begins to trap new viewers and so on... and the game continued.....as shown in the picture with new quiz...


This is how a TV can ruin your hard earn money and provoke you for gambling.... Beware of such shows and please do not participate in such quizes... use your brain and save your money.... Actually no one wins except these TV Channels..
