So are you saying that you ar ok with Barun leaving the show and the love story being "killed" in such a brutal manner ? Don't you think we need a proper closur there.Agree it is Baruns decision and in the end he has to live his life and this is a show ..the people are protesting for what they believed in for the past 1.5 years and what are teeny finally getting.No one is spoiling anyone's fun ...we ar all hurt and angry.
It's a difficult one to answer!
I don't want his character killed off but at the same time
I don't want to see the show end. For me the biggest draw to the show was Sanaya and the character of Khushi and then the love story (because that love/hate turning to love is a popular theme in Indian dramas and ive seen it often) but a character like Khushi was great to see and I still love watching her story.
I'd prefer there be a door still left open for Barun to return in a action packed suspenseful manner because that will create some of the old ArShi magic that longing and angst which was lost once they got remarried.
Realistically perhaps they should have ended it back then but for whatever reason they feel there still is life in the show perhaps the PH wanted to get it back to its originality and end it on a high rather than a quiet exit but before that could happen Barun decided to leave so now they have to weave the storyline as per that decision.
Principle wise I don't agree that a show should end because one main actor decides to leave its not fair on the rest of the cast which is the case with IPKKND.
Creatively they could have done better and should have stuck to their original plan, I think a lot of creative liberties have been taken whereby the PH have ended up catering to fans rather then following their own story ideas hence all this stuff about last minute script changes or reshoots
I think when a PH stops thinking independentally and listening to whimsical ideas then u loose your essence it's happened with so many shows in the past, Geet & DMG to name a few
With IPKKND it should have ended back in August/September after Shyam's ousting but they carriEd it on and we now have either accept the new track or if we don't then we don't watch it.
As a rule Indian soaps only work so as long as the leads are kept apart because u still have an end objective. Once they are together there is no where to go unless u start thinking children and leaps and or character deaths etc. which is what we have now
Is the death to ASR harsh and brutal? Yes it is (these things always are)
Will it be affective? Yes I think it will have a huge impact to begin with
Will it give IPKKND a new lease of life? Maybe this is the risk that the PH has taken and whether it pays off is difficult to say. 8/10 something like this doesn't and shows end in a few months time. But in some cases it can prolong it for another year and if that happens then anything can happen. It Soap land after all and no one really dies in a show so who knows maybe just maybe ASR might return in a different avatar
They did it with Hitler Didi on Zee tv recently and it worked somewhat rescuing the show for a little bit longer! And maybe it might work in favour of IPKKND
Appreciate the unique love story of Asr and Khushi for what it was and at least be happy that the they haven't brought in another actor to play the role because that's not cool as a viewer
