I chose to see it in another way... the show could not continue because it was standing on Barun's shoulders. His quitting negates their claim "The character is greater than the actor.." .
Its a complement Barun. SP thought that you will be forgiven easily vs them airing their dirty laundry.
i just spoke to my mom back in Indai and the first thing she uttered to me was - your show si ending. that was the only decent thing on telly and she has been watching the new promos and today the Red tape. She did not think anything against the actor so this too shall pass . As long as the marketplace knows your stand .
We fans are still with him...
