MTV plugs blind date contest on website

MUMBAI: If you don’t want to be fixed in matrimony with the help of Madhuri Dixit, try MTV instead.

The youth channel with a penchant for irreverence is targeting the lonely at heart with a ‘Pyar Karo, Bangkok Jao’ contest. Participants have to log on to the channel’s website www.mtvindia.com and select three things about oneself from the options available, as well as three aspects that one would look for in their soulmate. If one participant’s choices those of another, the couple will be sent on a blind date to Bangkok for four days and three nights of ‘mauj’ and ‘masti’. Also waiting to be picked up as consolation prizes are 20 Head & Shoulders watches.

The simple questions that need to be filled are –
To me a romantic evening means ….
I fall in love….
Love is….

The channel also requires participants to state what kind of personality, looks and interests they seek in a mate.
