Hi Guys!!!😊

I figure we're all in the same boat with this show.😕 I would like to get a general idea of some of the things you guys have to sacrifice on a daily basis or M-T to watch this show. There is always something that you could be doing besides watching this show even if it is watching another soap in the same time slot.

I believe that if T&D is really visiting IF and reading our posts, our responses can be very resourceful. This way they realize how important this show is to its viewers, at least the ones that have not lost their minds.

What we sacrifice is very important, especially in this day in age. For one we have other options as far as TV goes, and secondly people have work and families to take care of. I understand that this is only a half hour long show, but if people watch 3 different ones, then that's an hour an a half of the day. If they continue to twist this story in something so bazaar, we might have other options besides this show.😡

Let me start by saying…..I have to sacrifice my SLEEP to watch JJKN.🥱 In the US the show airs at 9:30. I have to be up at 5 to go to the gym. 😒 If I stay up to watch JJKN, I'm too tired to get up to go to the gym.🥱 This means that because I did not got to the gym in the morning, I have to have only a salad for lunch instead of a chicken burger w/fries.😡

This is what I have to sacrifice for T&D.

What about you?

Thanks

Peaches

Hey Peaches,

that's interesting topic. Earlier i used to sacrifice mine as well as my family's sleep b'coz my little one does not sleep until she tucks me and my husband in bed 😃 ......so she used to stay up with me till 10 pm.

Now that the show is going nowhere, i have stopped watching it in night (even a sizzling hugging scene of Armaan and Jessica didn't tempt me to watch it last night 😕 ). Instead i watch repeat which comes next day at 2 pm. I watch it while doing preparations for dinner. So currently i am not sacrificing anything for JJKN.......

I've been watching it from the beginning. I don't have Sony or any of the Indian channels but my parents do and they've been taping it for me M-T and when it went to M-W and now back to M-T, from the very beginning. When it first came on, my mom said there was a new show on Sony and it's different, funny at times, and doesn't involve the saas-bahu themes of most Indian dramas that I got tired of and she would tape it for me to see if I liked a few episodes. That is how I started watching JJKN. I don't usually get to see all of the episodes for at least a week or two after they're aired, if not longer when I visit them and get the tape(s). Apart from watching Lost, Alias, and Desperate Housewives (which I tape and am waaaaaaay behind on the episodes), I really don't have time to watch that much TV. At times, I did find some of the episodes very boring and found many things that did not make logical sense but that occurs with every show - whether it's Indian or American, so I just ignore it and just watch it for the main story, itself. Until the transformation, which started when Jassi went to Mauritius, I didn't care if I did miss an episode or if I didn't watch it right away after I got the taped episodes. But now, I find myself wanting to know what's happening next and make sure that my Mom does tape the episode for me. If not, she makes sure she does tape it during the day. (I Love you MOM for doing this for me!!!)

BTW, thanks to QueenBee, Rumi, Daisy - Did I forget someone? for the daily updates. 😊

I dont get to watch the show these days. when i did i sacrificed taking any calls on my mobile, sacrificed peace at home by forbiding anyone from speaking or changing channels at that time. not to forget risk ridicule from everyone i know by spending so much time on internet browsing sites like this dedicated to JJKN.

also sacrifice my peace of mind when the track is going bad. or get some bad news like purab uncle's comebacks.

Well I have been sacrificing a lot since it started!

I skip my dinner sometimes because of that.

Then I used to stay awake till 2:00 to watch the repeat telecast.

Then sometimes I have to delay my homework to watch it when I have a lot.....

Most of all I have given a lot of feelings and emotion to this show. I am very much attached to it.. even when I don't like what's happening I have to watch it because it is like a habbit now.....

Oh wow just hope everything will go fine atleast in the end....
