IPKKND is your baby. No doubt about that, CVs. It is definitely your baby. But is there any rule that we, the fanatics, should not love it?

The reason why you have a forum of articulate ladies of all ages watching & commenting on the scenes, writing fan fictions, analysing them to death, enjoying them etc is because we love it.
The reason we crib and complain when the episode is a filler, or continuity is lost, or if there are bloopers is the same. We love it.

May I list some of the problems your baby has been having for the past few months?
1. Absent actor.
2. Fillers
3.OTT and illogical behaviour by some of the characters.
4. Unwanted & boring entries
5. Payash romance that never really took off.
6. Bad acting during latest ArHi dream sequence.

If I may suggest
1. The story, the story, the story is all important.
2. The greatest sin of a serial/ book/ movie is to be boring. And I am afraid that you have been guilty of it many times.
3.When after weeks of pain and hurt, we finally get a Rabba ve or a romantic scene, most of the time, it is over too soon. Your serial is watched by women. Of all ages. But they are women. And we love romance. Not the soppy Payash kind, but the fiery ArHi kind that YOU gave us. We want more of it.
4.Do you know what we do when you give us fillers? We crib, and then go and watch the fairy lights untangling scene, the Diwali scene, the Teri Meri scene, the diya scene, the kiss on the cheek scene etc. Scenes that YOU gave us. Then we write stories of varying lengths on the characters that YOU created, we make VMs on YOUR clips etc. I am sure it is impossible to be brilliant daily. we are not expecting the impossible. But we would like to see a tightly knit story without extraneous characters, a logical and entertaining tale... Is that too much to ask?

CVs, pls don't think that we don't appreciate good work. Pls check the forum when you give us a good episode. It will be flooded with your praises. AND some of the fantastic dialogues that you have given us, both romantic & funny. We still repeat them and enjoy them.

You are lucky to have so many people who love your baby as much as you do.

Well said. This is what I have to say to Mr. Hegde:

Yes, we get it. You work hard at the show, but so does everyone else in all other shows--- it comes with the job. Your creativity does get kudos, especially when you rock episodes like Diwali, Holi, the recent ILU from Arnav. At the same time, no one can deny that Barun and Sanaya, with their looks and acting attract a majority of the audience.

That said, we can understand how being criticized by fans hurts-- but the criticism only shows that we care about the show, and the characters--- which is what a PH/ CV would dream from their audience. It shows that you have given us a story and characters we deeply care about--credit goes to you--- but at the same time, you have raised the bar with your performances so far, so it has become a bit like riding the Lion: if you fall, the Lion will eat you. That's life.


The story in the past week has moved on from mindless comedy, and is now going towards a sort of resolution--which is a good thing. Go with the story, and the TRPs would work their way upwards--- and instead of complaining, take criticism for what it is worth, (in case some of it helps you to create a better story) and move on. A sentimental rant is neither here nor there. I've worked 18 hours a day 7 days a week, and if I got it wrong, I had to accept the feedback. Same goes for any job, be it creative or not.

Wish you all the very best-- we're all rooting for you. Do away with the negatives, and you'll find automatically find space for the positives.

Okay I agree with most of what you said. Loved how you said tell your story and the viewers will follow. Since IPK started the writers have set a high bar of expectations of themselves to the audience. I know it's hard to always maintain the high level of expectations plus sometimes with these posts it can be hard to see what the audience wants as there are a lot of different views. That's where they are going wrong I assume. Don't try to please us all because by going along with that you'll start losing the story and won't be writing and producing from the heart as you once were. Do what you think is best for the story as this is your 'baby' and then the audience should follow. You'll be putting IPK back on the right track, with high quality episodes such as the diwali ones. You'll get critisizms but honestly whichever field you work in they are there and you can find ways to improve on them. This helps deliver better episodes. About the poor sanaya and poor barun thing, as Nmyra pointed out we are looking at arhi and lose ourselves in them that we do not see sarun or other cast memebers and crew members. We lose ourselves in the characters when we start watching the episodes and that is all your magic. The way the directors/producers do their job along with the actors. We appreciate you for all your hard work and understand that you do tire your selves out as well as sarun. We applaud you and would just like you to get back the arhi we fell in love with. Your already nearly there. Keep this up and the trp's will rocket sky high. Also I'd like to say you are handling the barun absence very well. The tracks works great at the moment.

Hi guys. I've been a silent reader on this forum. Love IPKKND (read ArSHi 😳) but today couldn't refrain from posting here.

Fantastic and sensible post!! Absolutely love it!!!
