Journalism of Courage
All his life,Raj Thakur had been waiting for this: a moment of truth. A space in time where he could stand up and take responsibility for all his actions and their devastating repurcussions. His wish came true when he got a call to participate in Life OKs reality show Sach Ka Saamna. Thakurs brutal honesty won him Rs 50 lakh as prize money,making him the first contestant to do so across all seasons of the show. A fitness trainer and an ex-Merchant Navy officer from Meerut,Uttar Pradesh,Thakur apparently confessed to every grey episode and dark secret of his life.
The youngest of his siblings and the son of a cop,Thakur says his family had no clue to what he confessed on the show how he took advantage of his position as a Merchant Navy officer,how a ghost scare orchestrated by him cost his batchmate a career and the one lie that almost cost his ship Captain his job. I did not know that the Captains wife was terminally ill and he needed money. Eventually,we pooled in resources for him but I never had the courage to say sorry. At the academy,my teacher fell ill after I locked him in a tiny bathroom without windows. My actions have disrupted many lives but I never had the guts to own them up, enumerates Thakur.
