I am so upset today.
After the Sanaya fiasco, which everyone knows now was a piece of put on shit, (even us viewers abroad,) today's news takes the cake!
I was so upset that I actually wrote to SP - I have never done anything like this before. But my passion, as a Non-Indian French-Canadian (!!! Yes Barun and Sanaya have non-Indian fans too!!!!!!) for this show knows no bounds! I want Sanaya and Barun to be working together (forever!! Yeah, I know that is impossible, but dammit, don't spoil my story line, you've already decimated the characters!!!!) made me take a stand for what I believe is the right thing to do.
I am boycotting ALL Indian Media in protest. If everyone of us did that, Gul Khan would be out of a job! And it would serve her right for tempering with our emotions and making fools of us!!!! (Well, actually, I don't know how things work in India, but at least her and the PH's actions would come forth!)
Here is my email to SP (not that I think it would make any difference. But to Barun and Sanaya, I say, thank-you for letting me have a piece of your magic. Your on screen pairing is, you're right Barun, "khatarnaq!"
Dear Mr. ----------;
Please accept this email as a protest of my utter disgust at the way IPKKND has been handled during it's dying days.
It has been quite obvious for several months now that the PH has lost interest in this show due to whatever reasons. (The reasons are varied according to the various reports!)
As an international viewer, I would like to point out the fact that none of your shows are as popular as IPKKND, mainly because of the lead cast of Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti. In fact, I, personally, do not watch any of the other shows. Neither do I understand Hindi nor do I speak it, yet I have been a faithful viewer of IPKKND since the inception of this show. Only because of Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti.
I have heard various rumors of the reason(s) that Barun Sobti might/is leaving the show, one of them being that Gul Khan had completely changed the script to change the essence of the story. I commend Barun Sobti on this movie. At least he has the integrity to stay true to the course of the story.
I have recently found out, too, that this is not the first time such a scenario has occured! A similar scene has been played out with the show, Geet. (I have no clue as I have never ever watched any Indian shows.)
If this is true, then it baffles the mind that such an ethic is encouraged in an industry fraught with such fierce competition. It is insulting to the viewers. I do not know what is the standard of work in India. However, I would expect that it is not to encourage mediocre work! Or to leave work incomplete. Or to complete the work in a shoddy manner.
Whatever the reasons may be, whatever the rumors may be, if the show is being shut down, then I am writing this email in protest to show my utter disgust at all concerned.
However, in one regard, at least, my suspicions have been confirmed. I will not be trusting Indian media ever again! And definitely, not anything that has Gul Khan's hand in it!
Sincerely,
Desiree Benoit
I'm litterally going throught the same sh!t as you. I am Canadian from Quebec, but do come from and indo-paki descent and I'm truly disgusted with Gul. I don't watch any other tv show and never will, seriously I think that Gul Khan does not want success any longer because IPKKND has to be the best tv show in the history of indian televison! And I don't see why she has to go around focusing on retarted shows instead of giving IPK atleast another 2-3 more years of brilliant success!!!!
