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 finish 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
