Pen is mightier than the sword

Komal Nahta

Govinda This may make you laugh, but don't dismiss it as a joke!

The participants and audience in the Sony Entertainment Television game show, Jeeto Chappar Phaad Ke, are not permitted to carry their cell phones and their pens with them. Every person entering the set is asked to leave his phone and pen with an attendant and he can collect the same once the shoot is over.

Asking people to leave their mobile phone outside the set is understandable. But pens!

It seems Govinda had asked the Sony people to ensure that no pen is brought on the sets.

The reason? An astrologer had warned Govinda that a pen could harm him more than anything else!

Now, what the astrologer must have meant by 'pen' is journalistic writing, but we can hardly expect Govinda to understand such metophors!

And so the pens continue to be objects of fear on the Jeeto Chappar Phaad Ke set.
