It seems to me that the frustration people feel about the lack of story movement or gaps in continuity or just the bullshit that we see sometimes on screen is being attributed (very unfairly, I might add!) to the actors. They really have very little control over the script. I use the word loosely, it's a daily soap, they probably get handwritten sheets of napkins to learn their dialogues from.

The problem isn't the actors. It's the shoddy writing. And honestly, I don't even blame that. Can you imagine how mind-numbing it must be to have to write 20 mins of top notch stuff every single day, Mon to Fri. It's not humanly possible man. The best shows on TV air once a week, and that too not for the whole year. My favorite recent show was Sherlock (on BBC). If you haven't seen it...go watch it now! They had 3 episodes per season, one and a half hours each. It was top-notch. Creativity needs time and effort to shine through. You cannot expect them to write amazing stories every single day. No daily soap has that. Not in India. Not anywhere in the world. So set the bar low to begin with. You'll suffer less.

This show works because the leads act well and look good together and the writers are talented enough to write an occasional memorable story line. For me, I suspend disbelief and watch it for fun. That's the only way.

Dear Annie, Priya, Swati, Rabba ve,

The random thoughts I was having earlier

The actors do their job, go home to their spouses, partners, family and don't think about the show until the following morning when they get back to work and are handed the script for the day.😊

The writers/directors don't think. period😊

Us (You, me and hum) cannot STOP thinking about this frickin show day and night, 😭😃 even weekends, God what is wrong with us????

Is it wrong to expect good or even great things from Indian TV?? I agree filling 20 mins Mon to Friday is hard work, why don' they have seasons then??? I am very loyal to the show and the cast, that is the reason I watch it even in its current state. I don't watch the other shows regularly but they seem to be more consistent in sticking to the central theme of the story, this story seems to have lost its back bone.

I have suddenly been made to feel like some dirty voyeur 😭 An idle sunday now suddenly gone acrid Gosh we were just having some fun with no bad intentions I guess our comfort levels were so good and high that I forgot that this is a post and bound to attract some attention This is not our own house😭

I hardly have any clue about many of the actors my first Hindi soap and all done in good fun with no salacious speculation meant nor none of us meant any harm or have cruel intentions or a sense of Schadenfreude

Sorry just wanted to share my angst now

🤣So fitting about the writers/directors - another with LM now leaving his directors chair with IPKKND has anyone noticed a visible difference?

As for what is wrong with us! I don't know!😭 I'm beginning to have my own love hate relationship with the show. Love it because it so good (most of the time) - hate it because it has slowly begun creeping into my every thought!!
