"guru needs rest for maybe another couple of weeks or so....which means for next two weeks no maan....
i am afraid that TRP will fall drastically and the channel may hv to take other steps....like scraping the show or bringing in someone else as maan....i agree the second option is like murdering the show....but it is very common formula of any daily show....
and i believe it may take time but the new actor may success in his own way....after all guru is not the only intense actor around....one gud example is rajeev khandelwal....whoever thot anyone other than RK as sujal but even with someone else taking over the role of sujal the show ran for more than one year....
i dont think fall of TRP can be stopped....as far as i know that u ppl who r IF members r not stopping from watching the show....there is a very solid reason behind this....you all assemble to discuss the show....get updated news from the PH....encourage each other to continue watching....
but those who r not IF members (i believe not even 1% of geet viewers r IF members)...r rapidly quitting the show....my cousins and my friends hv been telling me that y all of a sudden the show is going down the drain...where is maan....
most of them do not know about guru's illness although those with whom i hv direct contact know now as i hv told them....but even though they r guru fans (actually most of them r maan fans and not guru)...they r saying that they cant wait till guru's recovery....they say that they r sorry for him but they say that with busy lives and tension wat they need is entertainment and relaxation from tv....and for them geet is relaxing and entertaining with maneet scenes and nothing else....
as for geet fighting for her cause is a gud social issue no doubt....but for that there r other channels like imagine, colors, star plus etc....from star one they only want youth oriented shows like romance, comedy and thrillers....
mindless drama is unwanted in this channel...so y will we continue watching geet when there r other gud shows running in other channels...we hv no responsibility towards guru and so we cant keep watching boring episodes for him....yes...wen he will return we will revert back to the show provided we do not get hooked to any other show....but in the meantime with guru's absence the show has no attraction for us and so no question of watching it....
after a whole day's work and fatigue....we cant tire ourselves more by watching a boring show just because guru who is totally unrelated to us is ill....
our life doesnt stop even wen our near and dear ones r ill....so it is ridiculous for the PH to expect us to wait for guru's recovery....
so....with hundreds quitting the show....i am afraid by the time guru returns the show will become such a flop show that even guru will find it herculean task to revive it....after all, many geet viewers by that time may become engrossed with other shows....
finally i want to say that it is noone's fault....not guru, nor the PH, nor the channel....just bad luck that such a wonderful show is going towards untimely death....its a loss for viewers as well as loss for the channel...
but, then this is life....some losses we hv no choice but to endure"
hoping to see GC and DD as romantic couple in some other show if geet at all doesnt survive"
P.S. guys...i deleted my mail by mistake but before that i had taken a print out....actually i was checking my printer to see if it is working fine....nywy, so i had to type manually the whole letter and i did it in my own way....i mean all the dots r my personal style....my friend did not put the dots...
