you know what you just said about real life trauma.. I just went thru it last week. I had major surgery last week and I missed a whole week of MM and this forum and now I am on bed rest and back here. And I recognized the week I was away that this experience makes me come back to my real life and not cry over a show and thank god for giving me good health and for helping me get thru this all this pain. I know also the addiction I have for this show (something I thought wud never happen to me again) and I was feeling that void would be in my life after it would end but my surgery experience has changed that for me and helped want to move on and not dwell over it. after all its just a show and after i fully recover i know i have so much i have to do and find new likes and hobbies as you have said. I wonder about the young ones too. we have life experience but they just have this fantasy, but im hoping that more mature and older group ages start taking more action like you have and make them understand thats its just fiction and to not mess up your education and life over it.

and awww its always so sad when the little ones got to go back ...i always say i wish i cud just kidnap you and smother with you with hugs n kisses all day long... then they get creeped out and want to actually leave😆😆

Haha I love ur positivity..I hope u heal soon..and ur on the way it seems like...mental recovery is the first step...body heals by itself( just a tip from a doc)...I love creeping out my kids too..they r still very young and they like to c mama's Googly eyes😆

I've been seeing a significant outpouring of love towards this show and the actors in the last few weeks...while it's great to see that there are like minded ppl out there...at the same time being a somewhat senior person ( I'm 30 and gonna turn a year older soon)..just wanted to send out a word of caution...it might not sound sensible coming from an obsessed viewer like myself..but I had to give it a shot,..

I'm not sure how young the forum members are...but some of the comments make me think that there is a big teenage and school - going crowd here...just my two cents for what it's worth...some of us here are at such a stage in life that we have the luxury( of time) to get obsessed with these kinda shows and we have the mental maturity ( which comes with age and experience) to move on..I'm too young to lecture anyone else...but just a word of caution to the young ones from a young and current generation mom...do not take ur obsessions to the extreme...it's just a fiction show and we have witnessed a beautiful one and it's coming to an end...move on from this and focus on ur academics and social lives ...don't let these shows affect u so much that ur real life takes a backseat..sorry if it hurts someone's sentiments..but just wanted to express concern bcuz of some posts I've come across!

Finally some one talked sense! There is no harm in loving a show but let us not turn this addiction into obsession. It's actually surprising how a fictional show is capable of causing a psychological upheaval in one's life to the extent that our real lives, the basic human ethics goes for a toss just for those who doesn't even know we exist. Youngsters should understand that at the end of the day, the actors are just doing their job, some following their passion and in return they are getting paid for it. But let us not spoil our real lives for something non existent. It scares me for those young chaps who get so engrossed in the humdrums of virtual world that they forget there is a world, a real world calling where just like your favourites you too need to make a mark for yourself in the crowd, achieve something bigger and better to steady your own personal life! I know I sound too philosophical but I guess being of the same age group as of yours came the maturity!

yep we were really young once too! Strangely I still feel like a teenager at heart at times...like when I get addicted to shows but obviously we r at a diff stage in life..we have responsibilities, work, kids and family...so it's easy to move on...10 odd years back when I was in University ..it was a lot different...not so much distractions...n now even school kids have smart phones all loaded up...Ii only had time for school all those years back ...maybe I have the time to do all these things now...this post was more out of concern for the adoloscents who lose focus on real things in life...
On a lighter note...I know few friends who too a break after high school and traveled around for a year and got back to Univ...they r all doing gr8 too...it's just that this generation is so fast...it's hard to keep in touch with reality!

I think this advice is much needed for me than the teenagers.I am also in ur age grp but I really think how I will get over my obsession and addiction for this show.Teenagers obsession comes to an end when the show ends coz of their exposure and hectic schedule and many other topics they have in their life.But for me it's very difficult to come back to normal coz nowadays my mind and heart always for abt 24 hrs are clouded by Ardhikas thoughts.So much so tat even in my dreams they come.I don't watch any other show other than this coz of tat it will be difficult for me to shift focus from this to something else.Never had this much obsession for any other show.Once had a similar effect with Kahhiin To Hoga but not this much coz at tat time I was too young and had many other real life moments also to cherish.Moreover not only the show I am even obsessed with the actors also. I think now tat the crush I had on Rajeev Khandelwal was much much less than the love I feel for Aham.I know its because of the character he always plays.Be it Karn or Arj all are trajic and yearning for love And disturbed and fought in the whole life to achieve something and find recognition( Karn). Don't think me otherwise. Anyway thank u for ur Wondeful post.

Thanks for your comments dear! This last week I've been acting crazy too..almost online or watching episodes n writing on this forum non-stop...with work obligations n kids holidays...this post came out in guilt ...I needed to express it to get out of my obsession😊...we learn in Pscych..written thoughts carry more weight...that has stayed with me...obsession with actors or crush is quite normal...of course we need to like them to watch them right...my logic😊.. My hubby thinks I like tall handsome dudes just like him...I told him just last week that Aham is so charming..n he said does he look like me? N I said yep except that he seems to have worked out a lot on his upper body( don't get me wrong but the human body is observed a lot in my field of work) so it's almost second nature for me to note these things...although admiring is another thing totally😉..n I think there's nothing wrong in looking...n actors r on display for that purpose...hehehe.. Don't fret I'm sure some other equally fab show might catch ur fancy soon..Godspeed!
