The Bitter Truth - A Note from Kernal - Page 11

I sincerely wish no other show of this PH becomes successful like IPKKND. Gul should learn her lesson once and for all, not to mess up with the viewers. I had long back ago itself got a feeling that this show wouldn't last until 2013, but the way they are handling the end is depressing me. I feel like taking some hockey sticks and go to vandalize Gul's office.😆

This team should come up with season 2 of IPK. The CVs and actors should find a new PH to produce this show.

What to do, I'm such a despo fan of IPKKND and I can't digest this shit that they are shoving down my throat.

I woke up this morning and made a a very hard decision. I want to remember my baby for what it was, not the politics or the drama it has become. I want to be able to remember the characters we started with, not just the ones left. After months of internal fighting, I decided that it was time to leave the show

^^THIS!! .. can we get any info about who is leaving other than Barun (it still need confirmation) someone from the creatives may be.. who is leaving actually..then we can find out who this person is cause i REALLY want to know!

Dear IPKKND viewers,

Before, I write anything I have to say that this is not to create panic or anything. Nor am I confirming any rumours. Just some shared views.

I know I cannot force anyone to believe whether I am an authentic source or not. Many of you might wonder why I did not make a post defending myself after 4 Lions stated that I was not a part of the production house. I have to add that I never stated that my views were shared by the production house in any of my posts, I always maintained that they were the views of a certain set of people associated with the show. This is also why those posts were not posted through their account.

Furthermore, the production house has no way of knowing the identity of spoiler givers (and to clarify I am not a spoiler-giver) as those people use aliases which is true for majority of the people on this forum.

The reason I used this account to make posts about the show was because I genuinely felt a need to thank the audience. Some may argue that India Forums is a very small representation of the show's audience and I completely agree.

Why did I still make those posts?

Simple. I cannot thank every single person who has played a role in helping the show achieve the success that it is but even if I am able to thank a hand full of people it satisfies me to an extent.

Some may call me overly emotional, melodramatic etc. and they have every right to do so and at the same time I am entitled to my views. IPKKND has been a life changing experience for me. It has a very special place in my heart. I truly believe that I will never come across a show like IPKKND in my life but I am happy knowing that I was apart of something so magical and capable of connecting people across the globe.

I am aware that many rumours are in the air concerning the show. When a media outlet leaked the news of Barun giving his notice, only a select few were aware of that news. No one on set knew of this and were kept out of the loop for quite some time. We only got wind of the news when it was leaked by one of the producers to a former journalist.

As much as I love Barun and support him there are things going on behind the scenes and with the production house that are not being disclosed so I guess we all have to keep waiting until "next week" to find out. Whenever next week may come.

A few months ago, the storyline was abruptly changed which was both negative and positive. I leave you to decide what was what. Many storylines were rejected for unknown reasons. Initially my aim was to give every character importance but due to certain interferences, certain characters became mere props. Something that I will always regret.

I have been apart of IPKKND right from the beginning. I cannot express the joy I felt seeing characters being portrayed on screen that were once mere sketches on paper. For the past year and a half I have literally lived through this show. I woke up thinking about it, thought about it when I ate, and went to sleep thinking about it. Some of you think you are obsessed, imagine being me.

A couple of days I received a text informing me about an open letter on a forum called Forum32. Being a curious person, I made an account so I could know what the fuss was about.

"The story of IPKKND has run it's course."

The final blow.

When you devote almost every waking minute to something you love and you read something like this, it hurts beyond words. It shocks me that there was once a time when IPKKND was someone's baby but I guess according to some this baby is all grown up.

Do I think that some professionalism needed to be displayed?

Yes.

Why?

Because posting such letters is a disrespect to the viewers and even a bigger show of disrespect to the people who work tremendously hard to make the show a reality.

Now many of you might think that I am doing the same thing by posting this letter. And yes maybe I am. Maybe this is my way of venting.

I woke up this morning and made a a very hard decision. I want to remember my baby for what it was, not the politics or the drama it has become. I want to be able to remember the characters we started with, not just the ones left. After months of internal fighting, I decided that it was time to leave the show. Almost all of you will never who I am but I just needed to write this. Honestly I am not even sure if I was able to get my point across or not but by writing this I have obtained some peace to my inner turmoil.

I do know that many reading this will question my loyalty for the show and maybe even bash me for abandoning it in the middle. I can only justify myself by writing that when something you have worked very hard for is snatched from you hands by others so they can enjoy the "high" and once they have churned out what they can, they throw it on the ground instead of placing it back in your hands, it is the last straw.

Once again, I cannot thank each and every one of you for making IPKKND what it is. I am forever indebted.

"Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos."

Signing off for the last time,

S.B. and others.

I am not Gul. She's too busy with her "baby" to be bothered to write this anyway.

It is one of the writers. Hundred percent pakka. Only a writer lives the characters day and night. Not an actor. And most of all, we don't know the entire list of writers in their creative team. It can be any one of them. So most probably, we will never know unless Rangmunch or some other media website reveals the inside news :/
