The picture of Vice President's wife, Samira Bawumia and Pammi of Kumkum Bhagya fame is gone viral on social media and has attracted both negetive and positive reactions.
Some section of the Ghanaian public has criticized the move by Madam Samira by insinuating that the picture was in a way endorsing the long-running Indian soap opera to the expence of the local movie industry.
One of such critics of the move is local movie producer, Ola Kwaku Michael. The movie producer was of the view that Samira Bawumia’s endorsement of the foreign series was enough to kill the already dying local movie industry.
He added that calls to cancel the Indian soap would mean nothing now that they have received the government’s approval with the picture.
Ola Michael who is a former FIPAG PRO and NDC activist sarcastically chastised the Second Lady’s move by congratulating her for being a great inspiration to the Ghanaian movie industry.
Many Ghanaians have called for an alternative Ghanaian content to replace the Indian series but the love many Ghanaians have for the soap opera knows no bounds and it is not likely the love and anticipation that comes with the show is going to end anytime soon.
Kumkum Bhagya is an Indian series that airs on Adom TV. The voice over for the series has been translated into Twi.

The most use.les$ humans on this planet are Ghanaians...they can talk and hate you with no reason....you sstupid people insulting samira are just sstupid apes that escaped the Accra zoo.why can't u appreciate this woman but always finding an avenue to castigate her.Ghanaians are too jealous and foolishhhh....i hate them !!!
whatever you do,they will talk about,please lets mind our business and stop waisting our time on issues that are not imoprtant,ebeiiiiiii
Black man always prefers endorsing what's foreign.
skin pain meaning what?Or you mean to be fulani,dress like indian and be a moslem?Which one of these is so attractive for me to skin pain to be? Can you please name which Ghanaian movies were made by copying indian movies? Both of you and those who think like your and the second lady all have more than your fair share of inferiority complex.And you think we also think and behave like you or want to be like you appppppuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
This is all "skin pain". Whatever this our beautiful vice president's wife does, we complain. Even wearing a nice dress was a problem. aaabaa. I think what the movie industry need to do is to conduct a research and identify what Ghanaians want and provide it simple. Are they suggesting that all foreign movies should be banned? Please, everyone knows that Nigerian movies are better than Ghanaian movies. Allow her to enjoy life small. For all you know something good can come out from the picture. They might also be happy to have the 2nd lady as their guest. Lets pray they may come and build one day care centre for us.
you go and copy these same Indian movies and make them your own and you expect us to leave the original and watch your copy copy.
Samira Bawumia is no ordinary but the wife of vice president of the Republic of Ghana.Her life is therefore under public scrutiny and rightly so because it is the nation that takes care of her.Samira is a muslim right?So if she thinks she needs more freedom of expression and speech as a muslim woman and she is not getting that in Ghana then she can move to go and live in total freedom in saudia arabia,dubai or quatar for example.There you will clearly see the diffrence between the role and level of men and women.You sit in Ghana and tke us and things for granted.

I am surprised about the conduct of some Ghanaian movie fans. What's their beef if the second Lady decides to a photo shoot with these artistes? They should stop being petty at least.
Really? Instead of folks helping to clean the mess as in dirty environment they are rather angry over this picture. Wow. This generation is pathetic. And complain of no jobs. Imagine been paid for cleaning choked gutters across the Country. Lord help this Country.
