I dont know about the rest of the audience but I also feel like they suddenly cut off the whole contract thing exactly when it was escalating and I finally felt that Khushi would leave and Arnav would THEN at least for a little bit bitterly regret everything he did. they seem to have forgotten half of that and are running through the other bit with one "I'm sorry" while they spend episodes upon episodes on dadi's meanness. They wouldve done better to focus for a bit on Arnav's regret.

HILU ILU ILUD !!!!

Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

A more likely explanation is that our dear writer had once tumbled upon this magic cow called forced marriage which can be milked endlessly. Who wants to venture into new and untested waters when there is a success formula just waiting to be recycled?

p.s. I don't want to unfairly single out and criticize GH. This is true for all Hindi soaps out there. The problem is that Mr. Hegde suffers from a diverse, hard-to-please viewership and his own zero PR skills.

Good Morning. I still have acidity. I also feel the oncoming onslaught of a dhak dhak tsunami.

At the risk of being called the name and titel I desire the most, a basher, i think GH is one complete old fashioned scorned by women dude.

All the marriages he has written so far are forced marriages where the wifes are shunned, reduced to smitherines and mocked and punched on. I heard he writes Madhubala too and the marriage rituals are being shown in a very crining fashion. I understand if a forced marriage is a theme in one show. But if the same writers keeps doing the same forced marriage in all his shows, then I am sorry, I have to doubt where that is coming from.

You lub him right Hirutam ji Please tell him to stop drooling at the heroic villains he seems to create.

Sorry Sudha, I have run out of wonderful things to say about you. That's why you got to do with these cheesy dialogues from Mithun Da.

"Apuun ka naam hai HEERA,

Apuun ne sab ko Cheera"

That is Sudha / Loopy after she writes a fantastic post.

Okay, how did this survive the selective culling that happens in the forum quite actively these days? I'm assuming that people are finally able to see through the show for all its weakness.

In the land of TRP's its difficult to make up for TRPs once they drop. It's difficult to get high TRPs in the first place, but near to impossible to increase them again once a majority of the audience have desserted the show.

The golden rule for TV is- never take your audience for granted which has happened with the makers of IPK. Its going to be a long journey to build up the show to its previous highs. The question is will Star or for that matter the audience have the patience?

You could be right - I don't know enough about the man to tell.
I would give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not going to start a GH defence league here. He has enough supporters on the forum to argue for him.

Since you brought this point out,

Gautam Hegde's recycling of themes displayed in almost all the shows he writes could be explained by

1) He personally lke the idea of forcing male dominance on the institution of marriage. It might be his personal belief or it might just be that he likes the idea of a 'forcd marriage' concept (writers also have their whims and fancies)

or

2) It could just be plain-ass lazyness on his part and the inability or the reluctance to think something creative.

Now I don't want to pull out Freud to dissect his mindset because I don't really care enough abut him to do that.

But judging from what I know of him besides his story writings Im going to pick the option number 1.
