Great email. Summed up everything aptly.

No idea if anyone from SP will read this. But channels should not just focus on the television audience in this Web 2.0 era. Things have changed a lot since past few years when it comes to watching TV serials. The serials are not bounded by geographical area. If at all Star Plus wants to spread its wings outside television box, then they have to learn to take FEEDBACK.

Hope this email goes viral. I remember one of the YT video which went viral about the problems faced by a passenger in United Airlines flight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo). The video has become a super hit with millions of likes and gave fame not only to the creators but also to the guitar company which the passenger was carrying.

I haven't invested a single penny on this soap mainly because I watch it online. Though not very passionate about any TV soaps, this off-screen drama is ridiculous and needs to stop. We don't know who is wrong and who is right. May be all this information is just some rumours. But whatever it is, it needs to stop. And channel has to do something about it. They need to give an official statement when there is so much of chaos outside.

As a fan of this show all I want is the truth. An official statement whatever it may be. I think after all the crap that has gone on all of deserve that.

Joey,
What a fantastic email..👏 Kudos to you.
I have emailed all the contacts you have listed in your post. I did borrow one or two paragraphs (regarding the possible endings/options).
Let's hope this sends a clear message to Star.

sooo true. It is mindboggling that anyone would even think of such a thing. how could they after 1.5 years of building and establishing their amazing love which is now embedded in our hearts? It is madness.

I m with you on this.You exactly echoed what each one of us feels.
Edited-
Thanks for giving us all platform to come together. This was indeed very big part of my life too.I have been seeing lot of shows but never came across such chemistry as onscreen depicted by this couple. It is a disgrace if they have actually thought of butchering love story by pairin khushi with someone else.If they cant continue then please end the show on happy note rather than playing with so many emotions. And I repeat there is no ArShi without Barun and Sanaya. This PH is answerable to lot of things. We have been tolerating much of crap in the show because of lead pair and this is not a way to treat our loyality.

we all knew that IPK will end one fine day but never thought there will be so much muck around...what a disgusting way to do it. still i would ask do you feel Gul with any business sense will want to kill the golden goose for no reason?????


Hi Anu,
Good points. Trust me, I went through all possible scenarios before making this post as this is my second only anchor post the entire time I have been on the forum. Those who know me here, know very well I am not biased and rarely ever take sides. As an Engineer, I am wired to look at the data and extrapolate and the conclusion I reach implicates the PH more than the channel or the actor.
PH:
1. Fans have shown a general disregard for the track, yet the PH does nothing about it rather takes it up a notch. One of the writers (although not officially confirmed) posted a rather poignant parting note which alluded to this as well.
2. Comes out on their own forum and publicly admits that they have run out of ideas.
3. Leaks news of BS leaving to an unverified source without sending through official channels.
4. PH wanted to end the show hence we got the hushed remarriage, past and Shyam's ouster. If it was their golden goose, why rush these tracks? Nothing has happened in the show since Shyam was kicked out. They wanted out, Channel said no.
5. PH already has another goose, is it golden or not, I think we all know the answer.

Now here's why I think Channel might be able to do something:
1. They have the most to lose from this situation. They know the show is their cash cow. If they don't clarify things, they are setting themselves up for disaster for UK Trip. People will roast them alive with questions and I don't think SP would want to piss off UK audience, their largest international base, even bigger than US audience.
2. SP has too many shows to worry about. If IPK is their cash cow why would they interfere with the story it if is already making money and not trashing any morals?
3. I would expect as a global channel they have enough sense to know the difference and where to channel their resources and energy. They should be worried about shows that are seriously under-performing.

As for the actor, if he had indeed quit 2 months ago, why would SP ask him to go to UK AND host the diwali event? Both of these events would not be part of his PH contract and SP would have to pay him extra. So unless he got paid separately for these events, it is safe to infer SP signed the actor. If the actor quits the show and is under the contract with SP, what would SP do with him? UK Trip and Diwali events don't happen everyday,so why would the Channel take any risk that puts an actor out on the bench when he already has a job?

If you connect all the dots, you can see who is killing and who is milking. The point isn't to end or continue the show at any cost but to respect the show, characters, actors and the audience. If the show has run its course, don't butcher the love story but end it gracefully.
