The Times They Are A-Changin'
An uneasy silence draped the sets. The sound of shots being set up and of people bustling around broke through intermittently. The clamouring voices of the outside world seemed a million miles away, yet lay heavy on each one there.
Meanwhile, in RS's office where the supply of Rs was dwindling alarmingly, seemingly in direct proportion to vanishing eyeballs, a fuming RS storms in.
"Why the hell is Veet withdrawing its sponsorship from its 10:12pm and 10:25pm slot on SP?! I had an earful from Nitin Bawankule last night about that."
"Sir, woh GK ki fangirls on Twitter and IF..."
"Not another word about GK. I've had it with GK this, and GK that from his crazy fans. With all of their, I want this and Why don't you do that. What about what I want for my dear friend, Suds?!
I've just had an extremely frustrating meeting with Parag about the things they say about Suds. He refuses to step in and delete those comments from his platform. When I mentioned maybe banning those accounts, he had a sudden coughing fit... His assistant said they'd get back to me. I hope he's okay... his eyes were watering real bad... 🤔
Anyways (sic) chhodo ussko, have you spoken to Vijay? What action is he going to take? I want that forum archived right now. How dare they not even have Suds' picture in the banner! He's the hero damnit! I will not allow him to be ignored like this. I'll show those members with my web series just how badly they have misunderstood and misjudged him 😡
And get rid of that benchpress from the actors' dressing rooms. This is a place of work, not workout. Enough with the doley sholey. And enough with the MaAn Reels and whatnot. Where is Suds in all of this. Why is he never featured?! He has feelings damnit!
And I never want to see another packet of Maggi anywhere near the sets, understand?"
"Uh, Rajan sir... "
"Not now, Bhavna. I'm not in the best of moods. And it's all your bloody fault. What nonsense had you begun feeding viewers with. Where did you get to start imagining jijaji in the jee jee re?! And no, I will not give up on getting IF banned. Theirs is a next level trolling. It makes Suds break out in cold sweats. Not good for his moustache, the makeup department are complaining."
"Sir, Rajan sir, please... you have to listen to me. You can't get IF banned. Please. I have a confession to make. But, before I say anything, promise you'll hear me out like Bapuji and not Baa.
I... I... I... takemyinspirationfromstoriesandconversationswrittenonIF..."
"What?!"
"I'd taken my eye off the ball recently, swept away in the fun the T Gang was having. Lekin, Vamika ki kasam sir, I'll pull it all back. I'm brainstorming with Hinz, wahan ki principal. Aap dekhiye, sab theek kar denge hum.
Not being a miya mithhu or anything, but you know we orats are good at theek karoing 😇, sir."
oOo
Hina, since you're doling out such delightful and witty awards for us forumwasis I wanted to give you a present as well. In keeping with the times, it has necessarily to be without sir pair as you can see
Ladies, please do have a go at getting your nominations in here and read what Hinz has told Bhavna to write here
