From a sad combined fan!!

(This is a sincere request from my side guys!!)

Yes, IB was marketed and conceptualised as a story of three brothers. But the makers and channel couldn't keep their promise. We can't blame them entirely for it. Its business, and everyone needs profit.

Three handsome hunks on a yatch would have definitely got our attention, but still I never took the pain to watch a single episode on tv!! Its my friend who urged me to watch it (she has completely lost hopes and ditched the show for jndsd) I binge watched 50 episodes on hotstar & then became an obsessed fan of IB land and its inhabitants (nakuul <3)

So after seeing the initial 50 episodes itself, we would have figured out that it wouldn't survive as a brothers's show anymore. It just couldn't, it would just be just shut down like some of such less fortunate SP shows. Shivika had somehow struck a chord with the normal tv watching audience. I don't know whether gul was being 'partial' or showing 'favouritism'. I felt she was just being inside her comfort zone. She is great in putting together a concept and also finding a flawless cast to deliver it. But she does fail in certain things. And bashing just doesn't work with her, she just gets offended. She is just used to handling more or less Shivika kind of love story. Even Om's character is being altered there.

But All of the above is said and done. And after all cries snifles, sobs & screams, the cvs and the channel had given us an ear. They have finally decided to show Om's love story( possibly Ru's too) through a spin off from the original, first of its kind on Indian television.

So what should we be doing, yes batwaara is happening and its painful especially for ShivOmRu fans. But its just like bidaai, there is a whole new set of hopes and dreams coming. As IB fans we should be proud that it happened on a show which we had so religiously followed, given our heart and soul to.

So all fans out there stop throwing brickbats at each other and please stay together, atleast stop spreading negativity (here and on insta)

So all only DBO fans don't forget your roots, IB gave you DBO, be grateful. Stop bashing IB and wishing for its downfall!!
Enjoy DBO!!

Similarly all only IB fans, don't be Pinky aunty, let your child (DBO) grow and find its own fortune, I'm sure it will make you proud one day!! Enjoy IB!!

Combined IB/DBO fans stay tight through double happiness & double heartbreak :P ( kudse kehado 'all is well' I'm telling too =D)

And finally ShivOmRu fans, I know you are deeply hurt with these progressions, the brothers being teared apart from each other. Don't lose your hopes let them sharpen their individual strengths, they'll come back together later, and be the real, equally strong pillars of each other. Shivaay, Omkara aur Rudra Shivji ki ansh hai and they'll stay together always!! (atleast in our hearts)

So please stop bashing IB & sso, wishing him to die and all, its so painful. Let's all wish for a happy joined Oberoi family and a strongly knit fandom too <3

Lots of Love!!
Dil bole Ishqbaazi!!

I disagree that shivika struck a chord with the normal tv watching audience...for the longest time the ratings were average...even online fandom took time to grow.Striking chord with tv audience was the CONSEQUENCE of creatives' partiality...it is not as if it was the CAUSE that led to the creatives being partial.
As 'normal tv watching audience' my reason for watching IB(albeit irregularly) has been surbhi chandna's acting,anika's character before marriage and leenesh's comic timing...I can even watch it for the unintentional comedy...but shivika's love story I do not buy at all.

Have to agree with you here , surbhi chandna as Anika made me watch IB. She was effortlessly funny ! Unfortunately Anika has been reduced to a door mat since her forced marriage.

For me its ShivOmRu & Anika, specially Surbi's acting itself. I just said that it general. And the objective of the post is just to stop cribbing of old things and embrace new ones!!

I agree with you except one thing that shivika strike a chord with the audience.As we all know it took 5months for a highly promoted show like ib to get atleast a decent ratings..The same goes with online popularity..Most people who watched the show initially were attracted to omkara and were waiting for his love story.It took 2 to 3 months for shivika fandom to grow unlike guls previous couples (most of them were instant hit)..So it was definitely cvs partiality and favouritism that lead to sidelining of other characters..Anyways past is past..here we are in for new beginnings..i will be thankful to channel and cvs for listening to the fans and giving as a new show...All the best to both ib and dbo.👏

Thank u for making this post ! Whatever be the reasons of gul or channel we shouldnt be apart like this after all we r all on same path ...i mean we all love shivomru nd ani ,we liked the show because of them ! Nd now its just each nd every character is getting story of its own !nd we all wanted that !!!so why to fight ??it feels weird cause makers have told in both the shows there are all the character nd its just that focus will be on different things ! Its only that!!!
Anyways...hope this negativity to end soon! 😳
Love to all the fans!!!
Dil bole ishqbaaz!!! 😛 😳

I was quite upset about this "batwaara" especially since I only made a comeback to the forum around now. I am not unhappy about DBO. Oh no! I love that OmRu are finally getting their due and by god I hope Rudra is not sidelined the way OmRu were in IB. Even though I love ShivIka, to me there's more to IB than that. What had me sad was that I hope in trying to showcase Om and Rudra's stories, they dont forget the ShivOMRu essence.
I believe the only reason for OmRu being sidetracked was not the audience, not the TRP, not even the fandoms. It was simply Gul's incapability to handle an ensemble cast. And it is the same incapability that has me worried for both shows.
Excited for DBO and I hope the CV's keep up the standards for both the shows.
