Note from Gautam Hegde - writer of IPKKND - Page 12

Dear Mr. Hedge,

Now sitting here writing this I'm wondering whether to be annoyed and scathing at your implication that we 'fanatic' viewers have nothing better to do, or whether I should practice what I am about to preach and take it with a grain of salt.

For now, since I actually have enjoyed your work – I'll choose the latter.

Allow me to tell you something Mr. Hedge, IPK has probably the most diverse and dare I say intelligent viewer panels – no I'm serious – we have doctors, lawyers, scientists even! And in a way this is where you face your logical fallacies issue, you mess up a diabetes scene and we have half a dozen posts on how the disease actually works and why that couldn't happen.

And none of them are out of hate; it's of a sense of association the med student or doctor who know the actual deal get a little touchy over the fact that what to the is simple knowledge and could have been cleared with a simple google search is misrepresented – trust me it gets to you. Such as the validity of the initialed will papers (law student).

Take away the good GH – you're work has been amazing enough to have people who I assure you have much 'better' things to do take the time out - because to us IPKKND matters.

Now as for the 'CV bashing'. Okay, look the thing is Mr. Hedge that speaking from a psychological point of view you need to understand that this is a cyber medium – wth does that have to do with anything you may ask – Allow me to explain.

Have you noticed that some of the posts are amazing constructive criticism, some scathing sarcasm and some just plain childish tantrums? Now think back – who build up your audience – kids, teens, adults?

Your audience, sir, is a mix.

Which is very difficult to deal with, because the kiddies on the forum will try to compete with the bland wit by being as mean as they can, taking that as sarcasm, or with foot stomping tantrums. There are people who will create posts to stir up trouble – why- because the internet gives you an invisibility cloak that lets you do that and not have to face the consequences. Hence Mr. Hedge the cyber medium must always be taken with a grain of real world salt.

I once wrote a Fanfiction based off IPK which suggested that the reason Manorma Mami behaved so condescendingly to Payal was because she suffered from and inferiority complex turned superiority complex and got told off for daring to suggest the woman was human. Big deal! At the end of the day as someone who has been a part of the print media for almost four years now, let me give you a bit of advice - be true to your storyline and your readers will follow.

Now, coming to your point about the rest of the team. I think, Sir, that there is another way to look at this it is not that we don't logically know there is a team there – it is that your presentation of each segment has been so mind-numbingly beautiful that we see ArHi not SaRun and when we see ArHi there is no team, because a team would imply fiction which to us it then isn't. Every time we overlook you in a scene is one more time that you have wrapped our minds around the scene to the point where we are not thinking logically.

So congratulations, as a creative I know there is nothing better you could ask for.

Much Love,

A proud fan.

To Mr Hedge,

Thanks Mr.HEGDE for your all excuses n thanks GUL for posting this link here...[If,you are😉] First I want to tell you,I am big fan of IPKKND... so,don't take my words in wrong way...

I agree A show success is depends on Team effort n their dedication...no one can deny this fact. Yes,IPKKND is different from other show too... this is the reason that,we are following this show. We criticize CVs because,we love IPKKND so much n want to see it on Top position.

I don't know about other but,I am very disappoint with current situation in IPKKND...because,story still on same place... "Our lead actor is busy in his movie" is not sufficient excuse. after 2 week of 'Maha Epi.' what did you shown...?? Think yourself... viewers are not fool, they have many options... TRP Fall is enough for tell n describe all things.

I agree with your Targeted audience point but,do you really think... old generations want to see BUBBLY-PaYesh crap...or Masala Mama n Mami silly scenes...?? No dear...they have better options... just like [On 8pm slot] BALIKA VADHU n MAHADEV [A strong track running there] Youth'll also prefer IPL over to this crap.

Sanaya, Daljeet n Abhaas are very talented actors..they are trying hard to manage this damage control with their Fabulous acting but,same time they are totally helpless with this type of poor script.

See this chart...[about current scene distribution{Approx. in min}]

*ASR-KHUSHI FB scene : 4-5 min
*KHUSHI scene with other : 6 min.
*PaYesh-Bubbly-Masala Mami-Mami fiesco : 5-6 min.
*KHUSHI-SHYAM part : 5 min.

What do you think... we all are ready for following this time distribution...without any story...??😕

N your excuse about 'Actor availability problem' ... what can I say... Its means , If Sanaya'll get a movie or show...or Barun'll sign 1 another movie... toh hum hain naa yeh Fillers epi. watch karne ke liye... ?? What do you think... is IPKKND really a time pass job for all...??😕

I agree with your so much problems excuses...but,These problems is not only for you... all Shows CVs team are facing same type of problems...these are their working condition naa... Toh buddy accept your 'lack of work' reason in decent way... n do something for story... this is not MJHT... jahaan aap sab ne kaafi time pass kiya tha...
