Maddam sir: episode 377-380
Note: Readers must go through those episodes as this blog wouldn't include every details as it is not a tele-serial promotion blog. Thanks!
Major highlights:
1) Female cops get under serious trouble when a celebrity charges a character insult case against them. It was the consequences of a female humanoid robot cop who took the concerning issues of effect of tobacco as a national threat and went on street with sarcastic yet personal-attacking approach awareness against a celebrity who just acts in advertisement.
2) The celebrity gets furious about his public insult and charges a huge sum of money against the female cops. Despite several attempts of the female cops to confront him about the severe impact of his actions on public, he insisted that it's his job for his own survival and it depends upon public people whether they take his act in advertisement seriously or not.
3) Female cops then makes a plan. They knew business strategy that if celebrity stops the advertisement then there wouldn't be any demands from public which can then demotivate the company to avoid the production and stop surrogate advertising. Here the celebrity aren't entirely guilt because they don't know what's they are advertising. Peoples get easily influenced by famous celebrities and they tend to copy. In our Nepali context, we can see several celebrities involved in such advertisement such as Maha Jodi, Rajesh Hamal and so on. Even in Indian ads, we have Amitabh Bachan and other actors who helps in promotion of products.
4) Confronting the company and arresting the guilt was almost at success but the cops got into trouble when their robot cop unexpectedly defame the character of the celebrity giving him a tag of a criminal. Then the burden turned upon their team to pay a huge sum of money. However, they managed it with a mastermind plan when they used the celebrity's mindset against him. His small daughter was just taken by two cops at police station. A cop was simply playing with the kid. The kid was indeed her fan. The celebrity man was so furious that he arrived at the station searching his daughter. He was then cool when he saw she was safe until one scenario troubled him. The cop drank wine in front of the kid. The man scolded them. The kid really embraced the cop as her idol. And the cop was showing such manner. That would lead the kid to bad future. Now, the cops counsels the man with same scenario and uses his advertising issue that was destroying lives of many peoples. He understands and gets embarrassed. He then declares publicly that he was shameful for his actions. This saves life of a young boy whose mother was worried about his addiction.
Now, what's the whole point?
Here the Maddam sir (Haseena) said something very important:
"You have a greater responsibility for sake of your fans. Many people like you and impressed by you. They want to follow you and copy you. Your advertisement is leading them to destruction. With greater fame, comes greater responsibility. God gives fame to those who deserve and are capable of fulfilling it. So, please try to understand your responsibility."
The whole point is "Discipleship". We are called by God with particular calling and ministries. Our junior just sees us, follows us, copies us. Our ways of living and conduct creates a greater impact on them. They don't see Jesus here literally the way first century people did. But they try to see Jesus becoming alive and active in us. Our compromises in life leads others to destruction. And surely the Bible also says we shall get the reward in heaven the way we lived, and the way we served amongst people.
We cannot blame sin because we are already children of light. We are urged to fight against sin and put our sight on Jesus. The sin is the company who keeps manufacturing destructive items and sometimes it can trick us to advertise its products. It is our duty to be alert and be responsible. The scripture urges us to test everything, every spirit and always submit ourselves to spirit's leading. Our next generation grow up looking us. We must be a good example for them. Once people sees us and they are drawn near to Jesus, they come to saving faith and no more demands of sin! The greatest company gradually falls!
This is why Jesus is our best model who knew importance of being an example to lead others. He is our best example in discipleship as he knew his responsibility and the impact his conduct can have over peoples. Are we ready to take this challenge?
