<font size="3">What gives anybody, and I mean anybody, the right to tell me what I need to take seriously in life and to what extent?? Mr. Hegde, Stop talking to us in such a condecending manner. We take out time to watch your show, sign-up on IF and write something about the show (good or bad), does not mean we have nothing better to do in life and we take a goddam show too seriously</font>. <font size="3">No sir !!!

Is this forum only to sing praises about everyone?? You write something about Barun's insensible video message and people come to bash you, you write something about the crappy storyline that we've been wasting our half-hours over 5-days a week, for last 4 months and this is what gets thrown at us??

Mr, Hegde, time for some reality-check. People who did not appreciate the story, the show, the actor or the directors have already stopped watching this show long time back. You can cross-check through your falling TRP's. Its 'us' the loyal fans, who care about the show and want the show to come on top in the TRP race, who care to pen things that need an urgent change. And what do we get in response - "Watch Satyamev Jayate" ???</font>

<font size="3">Don't take us for granted. As a customer, you can't tell us to not complain, if your product / output is bad. We stood by the streched OTT track, the longest MU in the history-ever track, the bubbly track, the big loopholes in the story time-and-again like the mystery of Arnav's parents, the reason behind Arnav's angst, the reason for Anjali's limp, sudden disappearance of NK from the show and soo many more that I feel futile to mention now. We stood by all that and still switch-on Star Plus every evening at 8 in the hope of better entertainment. And we end-up feeling disappointed by a lack-lustre romance sequence. Please don't question our intelligence again and again by feeding us bits of Arnav's telephonic confession or an erupting-out-of-nowhere dream sequence. We do get your last-minute desparations to pull TRPs. We watch through all of this.

No appreciation for that. I have lost all interest in this show now. As a customer, i don't feel like buying this product any longer...

OMG umma umma umma can I kiss you somewhere. Lol you stole my words.

SJ, great news,

after much ringing around, I have identified an airline that fly from Delhi to Scotland!! yay!!

They are the Chaar Sher Tara Jodi Alliance!!! They have brand spanking new Aircraft only 11 months old!!

They promise excellent inflight service, complimentary sugar free jalebis with macaroni pusta, as much bottled water as you want, excellent serious in flight entertainment, including shower scenes, hose pipe scenes, hand pump scenes and also Satyamev Jayate in case you are in a 'serious' mood and extra hard back rest in case you want to bang your head!!

And they also promise free airport transfer to an unknown location, where you will be tied to a chair and will have a gun pointed at your head!!!

So you can have your vacation!

For only pounds 75 a month...sounds like a bargain.

Their number is +00 0000, 0000.

No offense meant Mr Hegde, we all love IPK and everything is fair in love and war😊



U r hellbent on breaking my heart, are nt u? 😭 I can't afford 75 pounds! 😭 Oh what a travesty! 🥺 The inflight entertainment sounded so enticing with Satyamev Jayate thrown in! 😉

Though I am not much of an adventurous person I dont mind being whisked away to unknown locations "where I will be tied to a chair and will have a gun pointed at my head" PROVIDED I am tied next to BS! 😆

<font color="#0000CC" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">What irks me the most is the fact is that the CVs are trying imply that they are the only ones working odd hours, without break! Common! What rubbish is this? I am sure there are many ppl on this forum who work odd hours, without break. I have personally worked non stop under a lot of pressure! Infact it was either you deliver or You wud be shown the door. Here you guys get so many chances to undo ur goof ups! Also I don't think IPKKND is the only serial where the CV's work their arse off! There are thousands of serials running on so many channels 5 days a week. Infact it's not just IPKKND that has to do a Maha Episode! If I remember, I know my memory isnt so weak, there haven't been nore than 4 Maha episodes and that too they were often after months! So pls stop cribbing about working under pressure 24*7! The pressure to deliver the goods is on each professional! Be it a Software professional, doctor, lawyer, teacher etc! Even a housewife is under constant pressure! She is the one taking care of the whole family without her the whole family wud crumble! We too get the bashing from our superiors if we don't deliver the goods as required! We too get to hear the cruel and unkind words if we fail to deliver! Often with disastrous consequences like we even lose our jobs! U have a very cushioned job if we do dare to compare!

Now coming back to "you serial being ur baby, ur anna daata" let me ask you a question: who is responsible for ur child if he/ she is not doing well? you or ur neighbors? I can't blame my neighbors or any 3rd party if my baby/ child is not doing well. If he is ill mannered or if he is not doing well in studies. I am the one who has laid the foundation. So i will always be responsible you can not take a step motherly attitude and blame the 3rd party for ur child's misdemeanors! I am sure if ur child misbehaves in school, the principal wud call u up, his parents rather than the aayah or the neighbors or ur boss! Your boss is not responsible for ur child's misdemeanor! You had to stay up all night work 24x7 under pressure fine but at the end of the day that's not an excuse for ignoring ur child. And please please remember you are not the only one here! Everybody has the same problems as you do infact few of us have some more! So stop justifying your failure!

I really dont want to compare but if we really must lets take DABH for an example. How come DABH week after week continues to be the No1 show not only on Sp but of all the serials in the channels? Don't give me the ridiculous excuse of IPL! If ur product is good ppl wud make an effort to watch it no matter what! And I certainly don't believe in the excuse that DABH is a saas bahu type serial! Well hello! There are thousands of saas bahu type serials on air. How come only DABH maintains the No1 position is pite of all the competition that too at a prime time slot! That is because there is a concrete storyline in DABH! There are no inconsistencies in the characterisation of the characters! If they do act irrationally an explanation is always provided. Also they don't jump frm one subplot to another. They always reolve the issues b4 taking up a new one. But I am very sorry to say IPKKND in its experiments never ties the loose ends! Leaving its audience frustrated confused and unsatisfied! Dabh shows wat the audience needs. They concentrate on the main story of the lead characters! I am sure IPKKND isnt the only serial facing the probles as cited by u like avialability of dates, weather problems etc! Everybody does even ppl outside ur industry! We too fall sick. We too cant make it to the office if we have urgent affairs to look into. You can't make the same excuse everyday, sir! We audience are no fools here! So pls stop treating us as one!

You have given life to ASR and KKGSR and other characters! You are responsible for how they behave or react in the show! If you show them as dimwits who lack even Common sense why blame the audience for the bashing you have invited urself! The audience's wrath was self invited! Just like we are responsible and answerable to our consumers for our products , so are u! Shrugging off the responsibility or calling the audience fanatics is no answer at all! </font><font color="#0000CC">

This is absolutely amazing. 75 quid. Great. Oh you also provided the number to. Do you this ASR will be able to afford it? Specially when he don't have enough money to buy new cloths. Look at him wearing same shirt for past years.
- ah I know, premark he can get atleast 5 new tops maybe more with but one get one free

Dear Gautam Hedge,

Thanks for taking the time to write this note for us. An interesting read indeed, but i really wished you'd spent your time working on the script for IPKKND instead!

I don't want to sound like i'm whining or come across as condescending like you did in your note... i'd rather point out a few things instead.

1. If fans voice their opinions through constructive criticism (not bashing - there is a difference), you should be flattered... because it means we LOVE and are attached to the show! If we didn't care, we'd simply stop watching like some of the TRP audience have! Whilst i agree that some unnecessary 'bashing' does take place, you need to learn to take it all with a pinch of salt if you continue to visit the forum.

2. India Forums is only a small fraction of the IPK audience! You need to understand that there is a huge variety of members here from different walks of life... and you obviously won't be able to please all! But essentially, we're only a small % of the overall audience. For that reason, it's NOT a good idea to try and fulfil the whims of forum members (or ask us for ideas on future tracks) if it means having a detrimental effect on the overall story. You had a vision when the show started... stick to it! It's what we fell in love with after all.

3. It's quite worrying that you feel the need to justify having parallel tracks in the show... we don't have a problem with you including parallel tracks, it's the QUALITY of the tracks that are the problem! Give us meaningful tracks including characters other than ArHi and we'll welcome them!

4. I didn't really want to say anything about the unsavoury comment regarding watching Satyamev Jayate but i feel it supports my next point quite well! You asked us to watch IPK for entertainment and that's exactly what we expect from the show! It's a means of escapism for us and we WANT to be entertained... to escape from the harsh realities of life like those highlighted in SJ. When something becomes less about entertainment and more about frustration due to lack of story, then the show isn't really having the desired effect. Yes we could stop watching, but you don't want that and neither do we... we are LOYAL fans after all!

5. We understand the hard work that goes into producing the show, the whole team puts in a lot of effort and many of us do praise them on it! But here's a question for you... if you're going to work so hard on producing the show, isn't it better to show something WORTHWHILE which will be loved by the majority of the audience? If you want to know what works, refresh yourself on the magic you weaved earlier that still has many of us captive! I'm not just talking about ArHi here... i'm talking about the whole package! You say we pick out mistakes in editing, direction etc. but trust me on this... if the story was there (leads and parallel), we wouldn't even notice the mistakes! Or would be willing to overlook them.

At the end of the day, the audience is the customer and you NEED us to buy into the product and keep coming back for more... for that to happen, we EXPECT for you to keep up your side of the bargain. We at IF might not be the majority of the IPK audience, but we might just represent the voice of the TRP audience... some of which have already stopped watching the show. Maybe you should ignore the negatives and focus on the positives of all this... which is you getting FEEDBACK from your audience!

As a loyal fan who doesn't bash the show (occasionally give in to constructive criticism) and has faith in you to deliver like you have been recently, i felt the need to express my views after reading the note. My personal opinion is that the show did lose it's essence a while back (post Holi to be exact), but you are slowly bringing everything back on track... hope you are able to fully regain the charm of the show and bring back some of the audience you have lost.

Regards,

IPKKND fanatic.
