Hi thr! I cldn't help myself from sharing my thoughts after reading your post.

First of all I would say, the sooner you all new members get use to seeing topic on, "History being distorted," would be the better. Because this is not the first time someone posted a topic about tht.
Lots of old members/viewers (almost everyone 😆) bashed CV's for ridiculous "history," they were showing in the name of Maharana Pratap, when it's clearly a TV show to entertain audiences. They should put a note saying, "this story has nothing do with real MP."

You guys were the one who told the old members to stay in this forum and also told them they can keep doing what they used to in this forum, they don't have to leave just because new members are coming. So, when an old member/viewers post a topic about, " History being distorted," or a "bashing post on CV's," just like they used to do b4 the post-leap, why do you all get so hyper about it? In my POV If you don't like, just ignore it. If I were I wld definitely ignore those kind of topic.

And I know, lots of old viewers has stop watching this show after the post leap. And I am one them. So, I really don't know how good or bad the new casting are as I have nt seen them act. But for me stop watching the show has nothing do with the new casting. I am not going to watch the show because of the stupid story line CV's are showing right now. They killed history long, LONG time ago. But the way they took the leap it just awful. Because of this leap, CV's killed the whole show tht they worked so hard for one and 1/2 year to built it, in just one epi.

Like I said, forget about the history, history has been dead long back...the story itself got pathetic 🤢 CV's spend SO much money to show the wedding of Pratap and Ajabde. We all, old viewers were so excited tht we never thought tht PrAja will get separated one day right after their marriage. So, the story itself got stupid. No need to blame on the "History being distorted."

Anyway, I am not going to start with CV's and their stupid story track because if I start once, I will go on and on forever 😆 And Hiral already pointed out some. Exaggerating the history to come up with your own story is tolerable; but don't over exaggerating the history too much, tht people will lose interest in the show. And tht's what CV's are doing right now. They are over exaggerating story way, WAY too much.

Lastly, thanks for your this post, now I think thr will not going to be tht many or thr will be no topic on, "history being distorted," at all as rest of the old members/viewers who are still part this forum might leave as they won't be able to share their opinion, frustration and criticism. Because if they do tht you guys will think, they are criticising the actors/actress, but when they are not. They are clearly criticising the story and CV's.

Sry, if my post is lil rude. Anyway, enjoy your stay in forum. peace out!



Very very well said completely agree with you 👏.

@bold: I couldn't have said in a better way 👏👏👏.

I have never replied to topics where members made posts on such topics criticizing story or become hyper but if you read my post clearly and not only the topic heading, I have mentioned about the members who are blaming the viewers for the mistakes of the CVs saying that we are fanbots and dumb. I will watch any show for any reason and nobody has got a right to question my thinking and some members have been doing that since long and in the TRP thread as well two members did the same and I reported their post and hence the note of the MOD. If viewers are being blamed for watching a show in spite of the history distortion, I don't find any reason for some members to be so much affected.


As I have said it earlier, I respect all members here and they all have their view point but if anyone points a finger at me, the remaining 4 fingers point at themselves. This post was not directed to all the old members but only to those who keep name calling the viewers.


Sorry if this post hurts your feelings...

I will say just 5 things.


- The history in this show as of now is not just 1% distorted but turned upside down completely. Minor distortion doesn't attract such criticism.

- I would not have watched the show despite distortion even if young actors were there.

- I do not watch the show anymore because what is done is done. They have reached point of no return.

- I do not watch show for actors. But for subject. For me it was always Maharana Pratap and not any actor or jodi. In fact I used to point out bloopers earlier also, quit watching for some months last year too. BUT I still came back only in hope that maybe they have less material on his childhood so they will do justice to his adult life. Now that this part is also dumbed down, I have given up hope and quit watching.

- If I comment here it is still for MP the real life figure. Not just show. And on basis of WUs or whatever I see from promos. Commenting on history is not just a fan or hater thing. This is an open forum and I believe everyone has right to comment on distortion. Why do others take it personally if there are such comments? These are historical characters. Not yours or mine personal favs from fiction.


I missed replying to this comment 😆

Yes, I agree with your POV that MP is not a fictional character but it's the CVs who have made it a fictional show and not me. I am as of now watching it as a fictional show as it is not a historical show anymore. Like you got your POV, I got mine too and nobody should tell me what to watch and what not to watch and why do people need to make a personal attack on the viewers for watching a show? Is it mentioned in any rule book that one cannot watch any show if he/she wants to? No, so why people keep criticizing the viewers is something I don't understand 🤔

I guess the term fanbots, dumb and TV lovers was given by someone familiar 😆 People love history is a good thing but people don't respect other people, is 🥱


Anyways, I don't want to argue more and I hope that I don't get to see any viewer being criticized in this forum again 😳

Well said Erika.. I watch shows online.. so no idea about the ''disclaimer/content warning''..
Is it purely based on history??? just asking..

Im more interested in post-Haldighati history.. MP's Guerrilla warfare tactics.. but..not expecting anything from sony or cvs...

Watching MP for Rach only.. will stay away from forum.. on mission ''ignore blunders/bloopers''..

About the distortion of history, cvs r to be blamed not viewers..

bechaare sony and ph... they r trp bhooke aatmas only.. *entertainment business*

PS: Im sure Sanghis will protest against PH

I honestly had no clue who Maharana Pratap was until a few months back! I had to read up on him online to find out the real story. I enjoy history, but growing up in the 80s n 90s, Indian history was only a chapter in our World History books so you can guess what that chapter consisted of...

So I've watched episodes from April thru current and I enjoyed them. I had no expectations since I didn't know the real history so it's been entertaining for me. I adored those kids in their roles. Superb acting for kids so young! The first few episodes after the leap where choppy, but I think it's picking up. I do like Rachana as a grown-up and confident Ajabde! She reminds me so much of JB, her mother-in-law!😊

Now coming to this forum and reading threads has been interesting b/c there is so much animosity from certain fans and it comes across clearly in their posts! I really dislike how people group themselves as old fans or new fans! I would rather just be a fan...

I also hate when I read posts that say they're leaving the forum b/c new fans can't handle criticism. I really think that's a cop-out b/c I liked characters pre and post leap, some more than others and I've criticized things that I didn't like which others did, but that's normal. I wouldn't let that scare me away.

As I always say, this world would be quite a boring place if everyone had the same opinions!😆

This is my first post on this particular forum.
History is just that...His story...i.e., someone's version of events. The accuracy of those events often depends on how many people can corroborate the authenticity of those events having taken place.

I am not well versed in Indian history...but considering this is a telly drama whose CVs themselves display a disclaimer before their episodes in which they openly admit that they are not attempting or claiming to portray events accurately...I watch the serial as I would any other fictional show.

I enjoy watching period dramas...the last one I watched was Prithiviraj Chauhan...just like in that one, the children cast in this show did an exceptional job...and I miss Faisal, Roshni, etc sorely.

And even though an expected leap has taken place...I am interested to see how Pratap and Ajabde come together...and so I continue to watch the show...not for the distorted history lesson...but for the unfinished love story.

I think if one is interested in learning the accurate history of someone like Maharana Pratap...I'm sure there is historical and biographical literature on such a legendary figure, as well as museums, etc. I wouldn't rely on a largely fictional telly serial for anything more than entertainment...just my POV.

- Fatima 😊

Dear erica don,t misunderstand me I am not against you P.O.V but CV as they have hurted the feelings of mine you can go through my post for requesting them not to distort the history or make fun of my Ancestor as I come from pratapji maternal side means songara rajputs Pratap is my great grand father and it really hurts me I used to watched this serial only for few days and thought even though i was not there during that era i can watch this serial and can imagine the days of those days but seeing the distortion and poor casting of pratapji i am completely dejected. and also wish youngester like you should raise your voice to stop playing with our culture and history but to no avail here each and every one is fighting within themselves about comments againt thier viewing or their favourite actor .please its kind request to all please stop favouring this distortion of our history if we keep making fun and enjoy this distortion what will other do making fun of our culture traditions .rest depends on your thinking .as for me I am very very much sad from CV for making mockery of my Ancestors.


I can understand your POV but I have no where in my post encouraged the distortion in history and said that it's wrong. According to me, people should avoid making historical shows in the first place as distortion occurs and hence they face criticism (this is only my POV). I prefer watching a play in a theater where the story of a warrior/God is told in just an hour and they mention just the main facts which are true.


If you ask me, I would prefer reading a novel based on Maharana Pratap and I would encourage you and others also to do the same if they really are interested in knowing the life of the real Maharana Pratap as shows/movies don't follow exact history.


CVs show what they want to, I watch any show as I have paid for the cable connection and I have never sent any emails/letters encouraging or appreciating the CVs for showing distorted history. It's sad to see that you are telling me that I am favoring them. When I respect you, I kindly expect the same from you as well.

That's great that MP is your ancestor so I would request you to do something or tell the CVs about your disappointment/displeasure that they have distorted history and please don't blame me for anything. I am not responsible for this. Sorry if this post hurts your feelings.
