The real problem at hand - Page 4

It is simple, as a member of audience I'm more interested in watching Sanaya on screen. So far I have felt she is the better actor (the best in the show), and is the main character that holds the show together.

I know life is unfair and it sucks, but then people want what they want, and Television audience are known to be ruthless.

As someone has already mentioned, the TRPs will be the biggest proof in the pudding.

Having seen so many posts on Anjali, and then Dajeet herself trying to justify the character. I have to say, Cv's ,Daljeet, if you do happen to read this, many of us do understand what Anjali is doing and why, what she's going through,and fair enough, she is mentally unstable. The one person who has always been there for her is not giving her the attention she is used to and etc. The real problem lies when YOU SAY that Anjali is a parallel lead'.this story is about a sibling relationship'if that's the case then why is the name ''Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon''. why not stick to your original ''Didi ki saut''

The show has always been promoted as a love story, a love story between two individuals whose beliefs clash'who want to love but can't'.who want to hate but can't. What happened to the original tagline of this show, what happened to it being a story of a couple who go through pain..hurt'betrayal but their love wins in the end, an exploration of their relationship and their pasts. I didn't see a single promo showing me that Anjali was the parallel lead or that this is a story to explore a sibling relationship. Yes no doubt, Anjali's character holds a certain importance over other side characters. But I still didn't tune in to watch a brother-sister relationship and watch what happens when one loses a cheat of a husband and the other learns to love'and how the dynamics change between them. If this what the show was to be about why not promote it this way from the beginning instead of underlining it and then throwing it our faces and telling us to accept it ..or we have the remote in our hands

In reply to a post which I'm guessing you yourselves wrote cvs'yes it is crucial to show the side characters for the story to move on. Nevertheless it does not go to say that they should become more important then the leads themselves. Whilst your exploring Anjali's feelings I don't have a clue as to what the main lead is feeling after everything she has been put through. The cost of what your showing right now, as always is costing the protagonists characters and your story.

Regardless, whilst I do believe showing Anjali' feelings are important, it however doesn't go to say that at the same time throw the mature blossoming love story in the bin and give us crap in return to stall the story, so that we understand Anjali'.move it forward. Why is it that everything that has happened between the leads in the last couple of weeks has been forgotten??'thrown under a rug just so that we get to see how Anjali reacts to Arnav loving/ wooing Khushi?? The TRPS going down are very clearly depicting what you are showing'

The show you created is losing its original essence '.Need I say more

maybe we should hire a helicopter to fly over the IPK sets with a banner stating - SANAYA is the main lead - we want to see her more...and then maybe they will understand audience wishes...

The problem is not with the story. As stories go, it is perfectly fine.
The problem is with what was promised to us and what is being delivered.
Classic, bait and switch tactic.

The very fact that CVs do no listen to TRP numbers clamoring in their ears suggests that they are closed off from all possibilities of acknowledgement of the mistake they have been making and continue to make.
Classic hubris of the showbiz world.

By bemoaning that ' People just want ArHi, ArHi, and more ArHi', and that, 'They do no understand what goes on in the making of a daily soap,', please let me put it that people want ArHi because that was all the five original promos were about. Inf act, it is what the banner is about, the between promos, and all updates.
We pay for something - through cable + products we buy based on ads - and we are allowed to be outraged at the swill being served since Holi episodes.

As to what goes in the making of daily shows, how come I have never heard any other Daily Soap whining and crying about this?
Oh, wait. They actually understand the TRP game and deliver what their audience requests.
The sister-cancer show, for example - almost always in the top 5 rating - had an USP of sibling love, but when they saw that their TRPs increased with the love-story between the leads and parallel leads, they have slightly altered the USP to focus more on that. Audience happy, advertisers happy, PH happy, and CVs, I'm sure, are not sitting and crying in a corner either.

Will the one intelligent brain in the PH and CVs please stand up?

Aisha!! A big Khushi wala hug for you for this sensible post.

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon is a star-crossed love story presenting an interesting contrast of personalities entwined in a relationship swinging between love & hate. Khushi and Arnav have diametrically opposite ideologies. If Khushi believes in means, Arnav believes only in ends. Khushi's relationships are the most important to her, whereas Arnav believes all people come with a price and can be manipulated for one's benefit. Khushi, an 18 year old from UP, is simple, rooted in family and is driven by a clear moral compass. She stands for what she believes in, and never lets go of her inculcated values. She will not change herself to conform to people's shallow expectations. In stark contrast, Arnav is a 28 year old self made, ruthless, 'win at all costs' man who believes everything can be bought in the world, including love. He has no consideration for relationships and no qualms for using & manipulating people as pawns to achieve his ambitions. As the story progresses, their love-hate relationship witnesses a series of dramatic conflicts. While Arnav constantly tries to break Khushi's steadfast morals just in order to prove to himself that he can control everyone; Khushi on the other hand, tries to always follow her values & morals.

This is the summary of the show posted here on IF.

There's no mention of this suddenly important brother-sister relationship, and how Anjali is important enough a character to be a parallel lead never mind main lead.

Deny it all they may, but right now, Khushi and her track of thoughts are fading away...Such an infamous argument happened between A and K when Arnav blamed everything on Khushi, and what do we see? Anjali getting annoyed at them two celebrating Khushi's birthday.

Whattay disappointment
