And since I'd rather be aiming for real life achievements more than any online popularity , frankly speaking , I'm least bothered if I'm called hater , basher or whatever 😆 Ah! gurl ... you won me at this point ... so needless to say the rest is also what i agree with completely

I aim to speak the truth and nothing but truth. I needn't prove my loyality towards Shivika to any one . I know myself and that's enough. 😳 And this forum is just a place for me to voice my views in a cut throat manner and I'll continue to do so , no matter what one says or thinks .. till I care to do that much 😉 😛

For e.g. I found Anika's dance yesterday outright idiotic , weird , unreal and silly . 😆 It looked so out of place that my expression mirrored that of Shivaay's - stoic irritation 🤣 Again I agree wholeheartedly and have said almost the same in my rant the other day but seems that is what the writer finds is normal response for a woman who is in Annika's situation ... her fans agree but seems the TRP's don't ...lol 😉

Hello there, I don't know you dear as we have never met before :)

I know I really should not post here because I don't watch this show anymore, once upon a time it was my fav. and only show I used to watch, I used to wait when will clock tick 6:00 in the evening and I will watch the episode... but gone were golden days!!😭

I have left it long back so... So No use to talk about that!

Lines in bold have won me. Everyone has a right to voice out there feelings, Are not we leaving in democracy??.😉

Hi My Lady. ( Or Is it Sir ? ) Meself Gargi.

Now that we're done with introduction part , well , not only you , but maximum portion of old viewers and Shivika fans especially have either left the forum or the show itself, along with the forum . ( I know it for a fact since I've the habit of reading and rereading old forum pages , and the frequent names that I see at those times , are no where to be seen any more or really rarely. ) Some resurfaces occasionally after a spectacular episode ( which are extremely few and far between nowadays ) , like , for e.g. reunion episode or Bandwala rescue episode .

And then there are some who've simply lost interest altogether and moved on .

Now who are responsible for the disappearance of the people who were once so vocal and enthusiastic about this show and Shivika and Obros bonding ?? Why did they leave and most never returned ??

The reasons are a mixture for most .

It's an undeniable fact that Shivika has lost their old charm that used to make them so awwdorable at one point till the separation. The writers are solely responsible for this . Their lousy treatment and turning a deaf ear to honest criticisms , along with their infamous arrogance -sigh destructive combo spells destruction only. These Shivika that many of us couldn't even identify , let alone love their current interaction , are a shadow of their former glorious selfs.

And then there is lack of proper environment in the forum that encourages tolerance towards diverse views without tagging people as haters , bashers , Pesudo-intelectuals, feminazis etc. etc. or worse , viciously attacking them , even going to personal level , for merely exercising their freedom of speech , which is absolutely their right.

Problem is , we , the so-called-"others" need to collectively stop and think - should we quit ?? None of us has completely given up on the show or our favorite couple yet . Had that been the case , we wouldn't have been here wasting our valuable time and energy typing words .Like I said , no body is paying us exactly , to waste time and energy on a tv show. The day we'll get over the show , we;ll just shrug and leave smoothly and quietly , because hey who'll care then ??

But we're not there. Yet.

We need to voice our views unabashedly and boldly . We're completely within our rights to do so. And we need to do it as vocally , as frequently , and most importantly, as unapologetically as possible.

Saner and balanced POVs shouldn't get drowned in the cacophony of fangirling . Believe me , there are saner souls out there who'd love to , in fact , need to and want to read different takes .

And if some people judge us for judging a show and a fictional couple , do we really need to bother at all 😆 ? Since our loved ones , our family , relatives , friends , people who actually matter , will still continue to love us inspite of any random online categorization . 😃

So ? Convinced yet ?? Ya fir mein aur likhu ? 😉

Going by the state of ratings , looks like Ratings don't agree with a helluva lot of things about IB nowadays . Yet the arrogance of writers and her faithfuls remain unchanged ! Amazing , isn't it ?? You'd think the very recent blow ( erm.. a certain show closure ) would punch a hole in their vanity , especially with such poor ratings , but going by the state of the show , it's not so ! 😆

You would think so but only if you are looking at it from a perspective of someone writing in an attempt to save and salvage the show - not from the perspective of someone just muddling through till it drops dead from sheer exhaustion. I know my answer will not be welcomed by many but i am looking at it without 'Rose Tinted' glasses.

There is very clearly there is the ability to write a mediocre script that gives a ML character and some form of depth (though I would like to have more but this too will do). So the depth and character in the script that we are seeing is being done for one is not being done for the other 2 simultaneously. Why should the writer always concentrate with depth only in one pairing - why not all!??

To salvage a show you would do your damnedest to make the show a unit and present it as a whole so that this unit brings the ratings and saves the show. But here we find a half-hearted attempt where one is focused on while the other two suffer - does not matter which two they are. This is not attempts at salvaging the show - this is dragging the donkey until its back breaks under the pressure.

Ab na mujhe show ko praise karne ke paise milte hai , aur na hi show ko bash karne ke liye . 😆 To mein to wohi bolungi na jo sach hai ? 😉 Same here Gurl ... and there is need in any forum for honest dialogue and debate because that is how we grow and learn peoples POV. My posts have always encouraged discussion and I have always warned against bashing.

I had stopped making those warnings off late because I thought that we were going to be mature when we discussed but it seems the warning is going to have to be put back again at the outset of my posts ...lol 😉

Looks like we're going to go along like house on fire ! Do right more often . We need saner non-biased POVs like that of yours 👏 ⭐️ I have stated on twitter as well as here ... I am not a 'camper' and never will be ... I enjoy all the characters when the story is good and pull those same up when the story is bad ... I have never bashed a character but yes have taken 'pokes' at the writer who is responsible for these characters and their progression/ regression.

If people think criticizing a writer, director, producer, artist is wrong then they have not understood what these public personalities have signed up for. Criticism is their daily cup of tea because it reads like a report card for them.

They are not criticized for what their personal life is, they are criticized for making their art and their personal choices in life PUBLIC.

Don't we pull up actors, ministers and other such public figures for their choices and their actions?? What makes it wrong to do so with the writer of IB??

You don't want criticism - don't go public. Plain and simple 😉

I'll join in the fun. 😉 I cannot guarantee fun but I can guarantee healthy and open debate at least from the ones I know for sometime now 😊
