I am very upset as I am writing this and I am going to be very frank in this post. So, if people are offended by this, I am sorry but I stand by what I am saying here.
I am sorry to say, for all the noise folks are making on IF, they are probably not translating it into concrete action or atleast thats the impression I get.
I spoke to a creative director of Sony today who is incharge of on-air promotions. I am not gloating, I made another international call to a Mumbai number. He confirmed that AKA is going off-air after the current track and is going to be replaced by another show next month. I almost begged him on phone not to do it and he diplomatically said he will share the feedback with the management but mostly, it might not work.
He also asked me to share the feedback on email and I am doing that parallelly as I type this post. This is apart from the daily feedback I am posting on Sony's website and messages to them on FB whenever I login there-I am not sure if anybody is looking at those though. I know for sure my calls get answered and I am doing that.

The creative director also confirmed they are not promoting the show because it is going off air soon. Now, stop bashing Sony and think of it from their angle. They do not hear from any crazy fans, they do not see a great TRP, they have a business to run and airtime costs a lot of money. So, they will axe the show, right?

Now, I hope you all can spare 10-20 rupees to make a STD call to Sony and let them know your love for the show. If you cant, please dont atleast pretend on the forum that you are planning to do it.
The CM rating on IF does not matter, the calls definitely matter and emails and FB posts and Twitter trends matter. The online views of Sony's youtube channel and Sonyliv.com also matter to an extent-how can you prove a show is popular if it has only a few points on TRP and a few views their official online channels?

So, please dont care to reply to this post if you are not doing any of the above. If you have done any of the above, please do it again if you love the show and really want it to continue on air. No more "I am going to do or we should do" Please actually do it.
Again, if people are offended by this, I am sorry but I stand by what I said above.

Hey gayatri.. i called sony repeatedly during my lunch break.. but the response i got was either "check the code of the number u have dialled" or it was only ringing and nobody picking my phone.. help please..
secondly, i called swastik too.. at first nobody picked up. then in my tea break i called again... a boy picked up my phone and i told him that m calling from punjab and wanted to give my feedback on aka to the creative head.. he said mam is not available at the moment so call after 10 mins. after that my break was over so cud not call again. Will definitely call again in the morning 2moro.

I called Sony 30 times ( wish could show u the call records of my cell ) but NOT for a SINGLE time did anyone pick up the phone
I called Swastik Productions at about 4 P.M. At first it just rang..then after few minutes I again called & a lady picked up the phone.😃 I said " I'm Riya, calling from Kolkata. I want to give my feed back regarding Amita Ka Amit because I'm a die hard fan of this show & of Nishad & Chandni" ( I spoke lil more as I was too much excited ) Then the lady said " The creative team is busy & if possible Plz call after 1 hour". I said" Oh that's Ok Ma'm but just wanted to tell you that I am an ardent lover of Amita ka Amit & have not missed a single episode. I don't know why this show is going off air?? can anything be done to stop it from going off air? This show has given so much to me & also a wonderful message to the society" The Lady chuckled & said " I understand Ma'm but I'm not the right person to answer U so plz call after an hour if possible " I said " Oh thanks..it was gr8 talking to U bye"..." Guyz i knw I spoke so much..but what to do I was so excited. Now m sure tomorrow I will give U the DIRECT feed back as to what did I converse with Swastik & Sony.

i again called up swastik today. i was 90% successful this time. a lady picked up the phone, i wished her morning and introduced myself and asked for the creative head. she told me that mam is not available today and asked for any message to be forwarded.. toh maine toh usey hi apna feedback de diya.. i said," the current track of kajri is vry good, promsing and suspenseful. i liked it.. but i wish to express some points which i hope u will consider... the story is in rush.. a track ends as soon as it starts.. do din me do baby dikhaye, pls story ko itna speed se mat bhagao.. and also other actors are missing like sanjay batuk etc.. bring them back.. and there are no scenes of amit and baby. amit does not look like he is connected to his baby. pls show some scenes.. "
she said they will definitely consider my suggestions.. i requested her to pls forward my msg to ur head.. she said " sure" thats it.

i wil try again on monday. i hope i get to talk to head this time..

also i called sony.. after two three try outs.. finally one lady picked up. she me to sony line. then again a lady picked up. she connected me to head probably.. some rings and the call got disconnected.. and my break was over too.. iss baar toh mai apna mission nahi chhodne waali..sony ke head se baat karke rahungi... kal fir se call krungi..
