I joined IF last year only for the sake of DV and of course RM jodi which indeed swept me off my feet during the PRC days. After QSQT with Aamir-Juhi, I have never felt so strongly about any other couple the way I did for Prithvi & Sanyo...partly because I knew that the love story was real and some time in the past, a King did fall in love with a princess and although we may not know the nitty gritty details of their saga but watching the drama serial I wanted to believe that this is exactly what happened between the two...a sweet, innocent, selfless love story that lives within our hearts after hundreds of years. Might I add that this was only possible because Rajat and Mugdha portrayed the chemistry so well that ppl like myself who have probably never even heard of Prithviraj Chauhan are now a subject matter expert on this.
Would I claim myself to be a hard core fan of RM jodi?? I would proudly do so...the things I have done to see them onscreen is unimaginable !!! I can remember those days when I was assigned abroad on project work and how I would drop my packing and catch up with the serial immediately or how I had to get myself connected to internet in a new country (paying extreme hotel prices for the internet) just to watch them...sighs !! Those were the days! I even learnt the whole video editing process, bought a new laptop just for RM. Back in those days I was not a member of any forum! I didn't even have the time to think abt forums, therefore always was completely oblivious of the bloopers and gossips and latest news. I can remember how shocked I was when I was watching an episode of PRC only to find out that Anas has stepped in to the role !! It was like...whatttttt!!! Here I was waiting for Rajat and Mugdha to be together again but alas !!!! All ruined!!!!!! But one thing I can proudly say that I managed to enjoy their chemistry till the very last minute as I was not aware of the role swap... I guess it is true that sometimes ignorance is a bliss !!!
Then I joined IF where everyone, just like myself were counting the days to see RM together. Oh how excited I was to see I wasn't the only one...the imagination, the creativity, the unique thoughts of the members of IF always used to drag me from the hustle-bustle of real life and place me in a divine world! DV forum became my addiction, my hobby, my prime leisure activity.
But the recent events in the forum has taken all this away from me 😔 I can understand the unpredictable ending of DV has hurt many including myself. I was one of the many who tried to communicate with the channel and convey our plea to save the show. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it 😔 With the ending of the show, I guess we have also lost hopes of seeing RM together. But what has personally hurt me most is the constant bickering of DV ending; the cursing, the mud-slinging, the swearing, the non-stop threats to unsubscribe, disrespect towards the channel and the production house, the rumours and then back-rumours, the blame game and hate to say it but the hatred and vindictive attitude towards any entity who may be anyhow involved with DV!!! I could not believe it!! So much hatred, so much of revengeful thoughts and bitter words from a generation who are supposed to be the future of a nation !!! Guys...let me put this into perspective for you...in the past 5 days after DV has been confirmed to be ending, there has been:
20 such posts which only revolves round cursing and spreading hatred and frustration, plans and encouragement to bash channel or production house, criticizing the new show that replaces DV…..overall there were 275 replies and 3745 views to these posts. So congratulations you guys, in a world of war and blood shed, you managed to spread more anger and frustration amongst each other literally by few words. Personally I am so hurt because of the recent events in this forum, I don't even want to watch DV anymore..haven't been watching it since last week!!
So here it goes…I do not want to be part of this anymore. If the moderators have yet not decided to close this post and ban me from the forum already, then this is my resignation from a world that I once adored. I came in to enjoy and share my thoughts of RM onscreen chemistry and their affection towards each other which I will always treasure as golden memories. But I ended up with such bitterness that I'd rather not watch them together again- Thanks to you guys!
Last of all, wish you ALL a very happy and successful life. I sincerely hope that someday we'll all be mature enough to look around us and instead of spreading hatred and disappointment, we will bring peace and happiness for all...something that this world needs most and I believe it should begin from this forum.
Regards and Best Wishes
